HC Deb 17 July 1918 vol 108 cc1034-5
32. Mr. ROWLANDS

asked whether the revised rates of pay to chemists and dispensers in military hospitals promised in last March have been paid; what is the percentage of increase which was granted; and can he say how it compares with the increases given to civilian employés in the same hospitals?

Mr. FORSTER

The increase has been paid and amounts approximately to 15 per cent. On the whole it compares favourably with the bonus given to civilian employés.

Mr. ROWLANDS

Is that the increase promised in March to date back to January?
