§ Mr. Dodds-Parkerasked the Secretary of State for War if he will consider increasing the consolidated rates of pay offered to non-Regular adjutants and quartermasters for the T.A., to bring them more into line with the emoluments offered to officers holding those ranks in the Regular Army.
§ Mr. BellengerI do not think these rates compare unfavourably with those of Regulars when it is remembered that the officers concerned have much lesser liabilities. They serve in a fixed position, generally near their homes, and are not liable to moves without their consent, whereas the Regular officer is liable to frequent moves, and to service in any part of the world. Full rates of pay and allowances, as issuable to Regulars, are, of course, issued during camp or training exceeding 48 hours.
