HC Deb 02 July 1925 vol 185 cc2801-2
66. Major HORE-BELISHA

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether His Majesty's Government will consider the advisability of merging the bonus payable to Government Civil Service employés with their pay so as to fix both emoluments and pensions on a more substantial basis?

Mr. GUINNESS

The question of substituting inclusive scales of pay for the present pay plus bonus arrangements will receive full consideration. As at present advised, however, I am not satisfied that the change would appropriately be made at the present time.

Major HORE-BELISHA

Does the right hon. Gentleman promise to consider the matter at once?

Mr. GUINNESS

We are keeping it under close observation.
