§ 22. Mr. RAFFANasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether in creases of wages of 10s. per week to men and 5s. per week to women have recently been granted to temporary Government clerks; if so, whether Army Pay Corps clerks have participated in this advance; and, if not, whether he will give instructions that the advance will be extended to them in view of the increase in the cost of living since their present wages were fixed?
§ Mr. FORSTERIncreases, as stated, have recently been given to the clerks in the Headquarter Offices of Public Departments under an arrangement which does not apply to clerks in Army offices such as pay offices. The wages in these latter offices are in course of review.
