HC Deb 05 May 1909 vol 4 c1028
Sir GEORGE SCOTT ROBERTSON

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of the low rates of salary received by the inspectors of immigrants in the Fiji Islands, he is prepared to consider favourably some revision of their rates of pay?

Mr. W. W. ASHLEY

asked the same hon. Gentleman whether, in view of the low rates of salary received by the inspectors of immigrants in the Fiji Islands, he is prepared to favourably consider some revision of their rates of pay?

Colonel SEELY

I will answer these questions together. The salaries of the officers in question will be considered when the Secretary of State receives the report of a Committee which has been appointed in Fiji to examine the general question of the salaries of officials in that Colony.
