§ SIR F. DIXON-HARTLAND (Middlesex, Uxbridge)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether, when copyists are required to produce a medical certificate when ill for only one day, whilst Second Division clerks, abstractors, etc., are allowed two days' sick leave before producing a medical certificate, a similar regulation can be extended to men copyists, seeing that, in addition to the cost of the certificate, the latter receive only three-fourths of their pay when sick?
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. R. W. HANBURY, Preston)Men copyists are not established civil servants, and the regulations which apply to established officers cannot be extended to them.
