asked the Secretary of State for War how many ex-officers have been re-engaged as Territorial adjutants on consolidated rates of pay; and if he will bring these rates into line with other Service emoluments.

I regret that the figures are not readily available. The consolidated rates are at present under review.

Will the right hon. Gentleman bear in mind that since these officers were engaged they have been asked to take on a considerable amount of extra work, and that therefore their remuneration should show some improvement?

I think there is a case there for consideration.
