§ 79. Commander Maitlandasked 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. EdwardsI 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.
