Head 2. Cadet Service shows a disproportionate increase
over 1930 owing first to the accidental fact that a
larger number than usual of Unpassed Cadets (six as
against a normal two) are expected to pass their
final examinations during 1931, and secondly to the
increase, on the recommendation of the Salaries
Commission, of the number of Class I posts from five
to seven. One retirement is anticipated and one
new Cadet has been asked for in the forthcoming
competitivo examination as it was too late to cancel
the advertised vacancy when the Retrenchment Commission
had begun i's work. Hon. Members will, in the case of
these and other sterling salaries, bear in mind that
the 1930 figures as printed under the various Heads
were considerably supplemented from the Miscellaneous Services vote "High Cost of Living Allowance" which no longer appears in the 1931 Estimates.
