HC Deb 08 May 1929 vol 227 c2183
32. Mr. BRIANT

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if arrangements have been made for additional and progressive pay for the P-class of ex-service civil servants?

Mr. SAMUEL

An agreement has now been concluded in this matter between His Majesty's Government and the representatives of the staffs concerned.

Mr. BRIANT

So far as the hon. Member is able to give any assurance on this matter, if a Royal Commission is appointed on the Civil Service, as is suggested, will he see that this particular class of civil servants are not debarred from further consideration under that Royal Commission?

Mr. SAMUEL

I could not give an answer offhand to that question.
