Army Medical Corps and captains received considerablyhigher pay than captains, Special Reserve, Royal ArmyMedical Corps, although in many cases the latter officersserved before the war, whilst the former had no previousexperience; whether there had been no promotion in theSpecial Reserve, Royal Army Medical Corps, since the warbeyond the rank of captain, though there were now in thisservice 543 captains of the Special Reserve as against 39 atthe outbreak of war; and whether he could see his way togiving equal pay and opportunities for promotion in thisbranch of the Royal Army Medical Corps as were enjoyedby the other branches of the medical services-namely,Regulars, Territorials, and temporarily enlisted.-Mr.FORSTER wrote in reply: Captains, Royal Army MedicalCorps, Special Reserve, receive the same pay as captains,Royal Army Medical Corps, Regular Army. Their emolu-ments are nearly the same as those of temporary lieu-tenants or captains serving under civil contract. Thelarge number of captains in the Special Reserve is dueto recent promotions, and can hardly be made a reasonfor further promotions. The senior captain in the SpecialReserve has less service than the senior captain in theRegulars. It does not appear that officers of the SpecialReserve are at a disadvantage.
