Oral Answers to Questions — British Army – in the House of Commons am 12:00 am ar 18 Mawrth 1947.
asked the Secretary of State for War what are the rates of pay for British officers and Polish officers not yet in the Resettlement Corps, respectively, in the ranks of second-lieutenant, lieutenant, captain, major and lieutenant-colonel.
As the answer is rather long and contains a number of figures, I will, with permission, circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
Would my right hon. Friend say whether the rates of pay for Polish officers are, in fact, less than for British officers?
Generally speaking, they are very much less.
The following tables give the rates of pay of British and Polish officers of the ranks referred to:
