§ MR. CLAUDE HAY (Shoreditch Hoxton)To ask the Secretary to the Treasury, whether it is under consideration to improve the commencing salary and increment of the junior assistant clerks (abstractor class); and to what extent, if any, the position of the senior assistant clerks (abstractor class) may be affected thereby.
(Answer.) A scheme has been approved, and will shortly be communicated to the Departments, improving the future increments, but not the initial salary of the new abstractor class. This will in no way affect the old abstractor class.—(Treasury.)
