HC Deb 13 December 1950 vol 482 c157W
79. Commander Maitland

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty why naval officers eligible to volunteer for the pool of officers employed on inspection, research and design lose between £120 and £300 a year in the case of married officers and £45 to £200 in the case of single officers when they join the pool.

Mr. W. Edwards

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply which I gave him on 18th September. Employment in the pool is quite different from active naval service.
