W.R.N.S.; and if he will publish a table giving the corresponding figures for all ranks.

Mr. W. Edwards

For the purpose of comparison, the following tables give the rates of pay for officers of the Executive, Air, Engineering, Electrical, Supply and Secretariat and Ordnance Branches of the Royal Navy, and for all naval ratings except artificers and artisans. The rates given for male officers and ratings are from the post-war scales introduced in July, 1946. As corresponding scales for the Women's Royal Naval Service have not yet been settled, the rates for women are from the present temporary scales. A complete list of the rates of pay and allowances of officers and men of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines is given in the Appendix to the Navy Estimates, 1948–49 (pages 236–245).

NOTES.—
(i) In addition to the annual rates shown in Column (4) above, First Officers, Chief Officers and Superintendents receive additional pay at the rate of 35. 6d. a day, and officers of all other ranks at the rate of 1s. 0d. a day In Column (5) the annual rates have been converted into daily rates with these additions added
(ii) For male Officers War Service Increments were merged into the new scales of pay introduced from 1st July, 1946. For W.R.N.S. Officers War Service Increments have been temporarily retained at the following rates in respect of service reckonable for War Service Increments on 30th June. 1946 Service after that date does not reckon for this purpose.
