§ Sir R. Glynasked the First Lord of the Admiralty, if he will give in the form of a table the basic rates of pay and allowances, each separately, and the variations duo to the theatre of operations in which the officer is serving and the conditions under which he is living, namely, whether ashore or on board ship, of all officers of or below the rank of commander, both R.N., R.N.R. and R.N.V.R.
Mr. AlexanderI would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the Appendix to the Navy list published for December, 1943, copy of which is in the Library, which contains the information asked for in considerable detail. In addition to the allowances shown therein, officers serving on shore at expensive places abroad may also receive a Colonial allowance which is tax free and varies according to the local cost of living.
§ Sir R. Glynasked the First Lord of the Admiralty if there have been any increases or decreases and, if so, of what nature, of the net pay and allowances of naval officers of and below the rank of commander since September, 1939.
Mr. AlexanderI would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the answer given to the hon. Member for East Fulham (Mr. Astor) on 17th December.
