HC Deb 26 September 1944 vol 403 c62W
Mr. Perkins

asked the Secretary of State for War why Command Pay at the higher rate has never been granted to C.R.E.'s bomb disposal.

Sir J. Grigg

Bomb disposal units are widely dispersed under separate commanding officers and, in comparison with other cases, the command exercised by the Commander, Royal Engineers, is not regarded as warranting more than the normal rate of command pay.
