CIVIL SERVANTS (EQUAL PAY FOR MEN AND WOMEN).

HC Deb 18 March 1920 vol 126 c2384

68. Major HILLS

asked whether the proposals put forward by the official side of the Whitley Council Sub-committee represent the Government policy on the question of equal pay for men and women civil servants?

Mr. BALDWIN

The Report to which my hon. and gallant Friend refers was not the work of the official side of the Special Committee of the National Whitley Council for the Civil Service, but of the whole Committee, and was signed by every member of that Committee both on the official and staff sides without reservation. That portion of the Report dealing with the position and pay of women is before the Government, but in the pressure of work they have not yet been able to reach a decision upon it.
