Mr. DUDLEY WARDasked the hon. Member for South Somerset whether any system is followed by the Director-General of the Ordnance Survey in granting promotion and increase of pay to the civil employés in the Ordnance Survey Office; if any system is followed; whether he will publish details of that system; and, if not, whether he will consider the advisability of giving the Civil servants referred to some information as to the improvement in the conditions of their employment, which in the ordinary course they may expect?
§ Sir E. STRACHEYThe system followed by the Director-General of the Ordnance Survey in granting promotion and increase of pay is set out under the heading "Promotion" on pages 9 to 11 of the Report of the Departmental Committee of 1891 [C.6692]. We should be happy to bring up to date the information given as to the Rates of Pay in the Appendices to that Report if it is so desired.
