MR. BRYNMOR JONES (Swansea District)I beg to ask the Secretary to 1243 the Treasury whether, in considering the subject of compensation for loss of prospects to be paid to examining officers of Customs, the Board of Customs will inquire into the salary of the officers of less than twenty years service, with a view to placing these officers on an equal footing with the latest entrants to the service.
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY or THE TREASURY (Mr. VICTOR CAVENDISH, Derbyshire, W.)The whole question of the compensation to examining officers, 2nd class, is at present under consideration and, it is hoped, will be decided at an early date.
