The proposals involve an even greater injustice to naval officers. In discussing officers' pay, it has in the past been argued that, In the case of an officer serving in a ship or in a naval barracks ashore, the provision of cabin, Ught, mess, &c., is equivalent to at least £100 a year in pay.

I am not concerned at the mo- ment to argue. the justice of this, claim, either by itself or in com- parision with the 'conditions at- taching to Army or Air Force Service. When a naval officer is appointed to a post on shore where no accommodation can be provided for him he is at present paid £80 a year lodging allowance, this being obviously an acceptance of the fact his quarters in the ship are part of the emoluments of his service, and that when they cannot be provided he must in justice receive an allowance In lleu. This £80 lodging allowance 1s. therefore, the right of an officer, whether married or single. It is now proposed that when an officer who is in receipt of 46, Bd. a day marriage allowance in res- pect of his wife-is appointed to ja post on shore, such as that mentioned above, he may receive either the marriage allowance (towards which he has been lor- ced to contributė 23. a day) or the lodging allowance (which is a recognized part of his Service emolument and has nothing to do with his marriage), but not both.

The following example lu strates the position. If two com- manders are appointed to the Ad- miralty, one a bachelor and one a married man, the bachelor will. receive his present pay uncut, plus £80 a year lodging allowance,

The married man, whom we will suppose has just been promoted from leutenant-commander, In which he elected to bear the voluntary cut of 28, a day in order that his wife might receive 4. ed. a day marriage allowance, now receives 2s a day less pay as a commander than his bachelor colleague. He has the choice of either his wife continuing, to re- ceive 45. 6d. a day marriage, allow- ance..or of foregoing that and re- ceiving.the.£30 a year lodging allowance.
