§ MR. NANNETTITo ask the First Lord of the Treasury what are the actual benefits under the new scheme accruing to assistant clerks (abstractor class) whose service is upwards of six years but does not exceed ten years.
(Answered by Mr. Victor Cavendish.) Under the new scheme the present assistant clerks referred to by the hon. Member receive an improved rate of overtime pay.
§ MR. NANNETTITo ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether it is his intention to extend the benefits of the new scheme to assistant clerks (abstractor class) already in the service by raising their salaries to the amount which they would now be entitled to receive if the present incremental rate were in existence at the commencement of their service.
(Answered by Mr. Victor Cavendish.) It is not intended to give retrospective effect to the terms of the new scheme.
