§ Mr. Terry Walkerasked the Secretary of State for Defence if he is satisfied with the pay and conditions of employments of the Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps; and to what extent these are comparable with nurses in the National Health Service.
§ Mr. Robert C. BrownMembers of the Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps receive the same pay and are subject to the same conditions of service as all other members of the women's Services. Their pay rates are set and kept under review by the Armed Forces Pay Review Body, which takes into account, amongst other things, the level of remuneration over a wide spectrum of jobs in the public and private sector. There is no direct link, as such, between the pay of a Service nurse and a nurse in the National Health Service.
