HC Deb 05 August 1947 vol 441 c148W
97. Mr. Digby

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he has considered the possibility of making up to a reasonable maximum the difference between the civilian wages and salaries and the service pay of members of the T.A., during their annual camp, so as to encourage recruiting; and with what result.

Mr. Bellenger

The present system of payment by rank at the same rates as are applicable to the Regular Army is considered to be the only practicable way of paying the Territorial Army during annual training.
