HC Deb 17 January 1977 vol 924 c64W
Mr. Lee

asked the Secretary of State for Defence which branches of the Army still maintain an establishment of warrant officers grades superior to WOI, namely Conductor RAOC; what are the designations of these posts, if he has any plans to eliminate them; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Robert C. Brown

There are three branches of the Army which still maintain an establishment of warrant officer grades senior to W01. At present there are 150 such appointments, as follows:

Conductors, Royal Army Ordnance Corps 143
Master Gunners, 1st Class, Royal Artillery 6
Academy Sergeant Major, Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst 1

There are no plans to dispense with these appointments, which provide no additional financial benefits to the incumbents, with the exception of the Academy Sergeant Major at Sandhurst who receives a special responsibility allowance.
