12. Captain HALLasked the First Lord of the Admiralty what increases in allowances have been granted to officials in His Majesty's Dockyard at Malta as a result of the Baddeley report; whether such increases cover all grades; and, if not, the reason for such differentiation?
Mr. ALEXANDERI am sending my hon. and gallant Friend a list showing the old and revised allowances. The decisions for all grades were arrived at on the same basis, i.e., the reasonable extra cost over expenditure in England which an officer may be expected to incur in Malta.
Captain HALLIs the last part of my question covered by the right hon. Gentleman's answer, namely, whether such increases cover all grades?
Mr. ALEXANDERI have said that the decision has been arrived at for all grades, but there may be a few cases where perhaps the effect has not been an increase. I ought to say, however, that the decisions arrived at have been generally accepted by the staff representatives.
