§ 16. Major BOYD-CARPENTERasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that anxiety is being caused by the delay in announcing the Government's decision regarding the new scale of pay for consuls and vice-consuls; and whether he can say when a decision regarding this can be given?
§ Sir H. GREENWOODI am fully aware of the anxiety felt by members of the Consular Service in this connection. In my reply to the hon. Member for the East Division of Cardiff on the 9th of December, I gave full details of the new rates of pay and allowances already approved, and indicated one or two outstanding points which were still under discussion. I hope that these outstanding questions will be settled very shortly.
