HC Deb 14 February 1929 vol 225 c552
85. Mr. LEE

asked the Minister of Labour what scale of salary is being paid to the regular temporary clerks at the Employment Exchanges; whether, if posted to out-stations where there is no living accommodation, travelling expenses and allowances ate granted; and how long they have to be in the service before they are classed as permanent?

Mr. BETTERTON

As the reply is somewhat long, I will circulate it, if I may, in the OFFICIAL RFPORT.

Following is the reply:

The scale of salary of temporary male clerks at Employment Exchanges follows the general rules governing salaries of temporary staff in the public service, and is as follows:—Grade I clerks, 71s. 5d. per week, rising by annual increments of 5s. to 101s. 5d. per week; Grade II clerks, 64s. 1d. per week, rising by annual increments of 5s. to 79s. 1d. per week; Grade III clerks, 56s. 5d. per week, rising by annual increments of 2s. 6d. to 66s. 5d. per week. If temporarily transferred from the Employment Exchange where they are ordinarily employed, they are entitled to travelling and subsistence allowances. In reply to the last part of the question, promotion to permanent unestablished posts depends upon the existence of vacancies and not upon the length of temporary service.
