Taking into account the £4 bounty for 15 days' service and the fact that the service is compulsory, the following seems to be a reasonable
to of allowance of special leave with pay for non-volunteer members of the Territorial Army, etc. called up under the special 1951 arrangements:·
Page 20
Annual Leave Allowance
18 days or less
More than 18 days and less
than 24 days
24 days or more
Special Leave with Pay
8 days
6 days
4 days
The rest of the period will be treated as special leave without pay, unless of course an officer prefers to take it out of his annual leave.

These proposals may be illustrated by two examples: the figures are approximate.
12.
(i)
(ii)
Take an unmarried post man, whose Civil Service rate is 126s. Od
a week and annual leave allowance 14 days, and assume he is recalled as a Private:-
For a fortnight of Civil Service work he receives 252s. Od.
For a fortnight as a Z reservists he receives 100s. Od Service Pay plus 144s. Od. Civil pay (i. e. pay for 8 days' leave). Total: 244s. 0.
*
For a fortnight as a Territorial he receives 100s. Service Pay plus 252s.Od. (i.e. full) Civil pay = 352s. Od.
Take a married Clerical Officer, whose Civil Service rate is
£500 per annum 190s.0d. a week and annual leave allowance 24 days and assume he is recalled as a Corporal:-
For a fortnight's Civil Service work he receives 380s. Od.
W
For a fortnight as a Z reservist he receives 252s. Od. Service Pay plus 108s. Od. Civil pay (i. e. pay for 4 days' leave). Total: 360s.0.
For a fortnight as a Territorial he receives 252s. plus 164s. Od. Civil pay (i. e. pay for 6 days' leave).
X
Service Pay Total 416s. Od.
It may seem as if these proposals err on the side of generosity when regard is had to the bounty of £4 which Z reservists are to receive (the Territorial figure is about £5 tax-free) but it is suggested that:-
(i)
Public opinion is not likely to criticise a measure of generosity in
all the circumstances.
(ii)
(iii)

The administrative advantage of this simple procedure as opposed
to the complexity of balance of civil pay go a long way towards compensating for the additional expenditure.
It is not practical politics to suggest a significantly lower scale
with pay without making the highest gulqwgTMf 587 (suggested 4 days) derisory.
