§ 67. Mr. O'GRADYasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the clerks in the offices of factory inspecttors have participated in the 3s. war bonus awarded under the recent Treasury Order to all Civil servants established or un-established whose salaries are paid out of moneys provided by Parliament; and, if not, whether and when steps will be taken to grant such clerks the bonus?
§ Sir G. CAVEThe Treasury have authorised the payment of the war bonus within the limits laid down by their circular to the whole-time personal clerks to the factory inspectors, and instructions have been issued to give effect to this decision.
§ Mr. O'GRADYDo I understand that there are clerks in the employ of the factory inspectors who are not giving their whole time to the work?
§ Sir G. CAVEI think there may be some clerks who are not giving their whole time.
§ Mr. O'GRADYWhy not?
§ Sir G. CAVEI think that question should be addressed to the Treasury.
