Admiralty Order in Council No. 199

24 March 1902.

A.G.

Whereas the rate of pay for Surgeons entered for temporary service in the Royal Navy is fixed at 15s. 6d. a day by Appendix XXXIV. of the Regulations for the government of Your Majesty's Naval Service ;

And whereas it has been found that that rate is insufficient to induce members of the medical profession to enter their names upon a list for service when called upon in times of war or emergency ;

We beg leave humbly to recommend that Your Majesty will be graciously pleased by Your Order in Council, to sanction the increase of the rate of pay to 22s. a day of which 2s. a day would be required for Mess subscription.

The Lords Commissioners of Your Majesty's Treasury have signified their concurrence in this proposal.

N.P. 1008 / 1902.
