HC Deb 20 March 1919 vol 113 cc2234-5
69. Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has under consideration any scheme for the revision of tax clerks'salaries; and, it so, will he consider the advisability of setting up a national and departmental Whitley Council to advise him on the subject?

Mr. BALDWIN

Very considerable improvements have been made in the emoluments of male clerks in surveyors'offices in the course of the last fifteen months, and the question of any further change in the organisation in this branch cannot be dealt with apart from the consideration of Civil Service conditions as a whole, and in anticipation of the establishment of a general system of Whitley Councils for the Civil Service.
