Mr. R. C. Morrison
asked the Secretary of State for War under what conditions trade money is paid to sappers in the Royal Engineers; and will he give particulars?
Mr. Stanley
A sapper receives the tradesmen's rate of pay for his particular trade, according to his degree of trade skill, as soon as he becomes qualified in that trade and is mustered into a vacancy in the establishment of his unit. The general range of tradesmen's rates is shown in Army Estimates, 1939, Appendix IV.
