§ 70. Major MOLSONasked the Minister of Pensions whether, as the medical men employed as assessors on sessional rates are continuously employed for the same hours as the Medical Commissioners, he can see his way to pay them as equitably and allow them leave with pay and sick leave with pay?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of PENSIONS (Major Tryon)It is not considered that medical assessors employed at sessional rates are inequitably paid. Their conditions of service are different from those of whole-time Medical Commissioners or Deputy-Commissioners. The question of leave with pay cannot arise in the case of men who are engaged on a sessional, and not a salaried basis.
