HC Deb 18 December 1945 vol 417 c1292W
Brigadier Low

asked the Secretary of State for War what relation rates of pay of Army officers in military government in Germany bear to the rates of pay of civilian officers of the Control Commission serving in posts of equivalent rank.

Mr. Lawson

Military and civilian rates are fixed on entirely different bases, and it is not possible to draw any real comparison between them. Particulars of civilian salaries are shown in a pamphlet of which I am sending the hon. and gallant Member a copy. As he is aware, military rates are laid down in the Royal Warrant, for the Pay, etc., of the Army.
