§ MR. ARTHUR O'CONNORasked the Postmaster General, Why second- 605 class clerks on the female clerical staff in Dublin are allowed salaries from £55 to £70 instead of from £65 to £80, as in London, though the programme put forth by the Civil Service Commissioners offers the higher scale?
§ MR. FAWCETT, in reply, said, that with respect to the programme of the Civil Service Commissioners the scale of salaries applied only to the female clerks in London. The scale of salaries for the second class female clerks in Dublin had been raised some time ago from £40 rising to £60 to £55 rising to £70. Whenever there was a vacancy in the female staff in Dublin he always had numerous applications from clerks in London to be transferred to Dublin.
