HC Deb 30 July 1931 vol 255 c2462
77. Mr. MATHERS

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when a settlement will be reached regarding the claims of the second class clerks of the department of the registers and records of Scotland, which have been under consideration since August, 1929?

Mr. WILLIAM ADAMSON

As I stated in reply to a question by the hon. Member for North Edinburgh (Sir P. Ford) on 21st July, I shall do everything possible to expedite publication of the second Fleming Report. When the report is received, no time will be lost in dealing with outstanding questions of staff organisation (including the claims of the second class clerks) in the light of the Committee's recommendations.

Mr. MATHERS

Is the right hon. Gentleman not aware even now that the report with regard to reorganisation has little or nothing to do with the claims put before him in August, 1929, with regard to the remuneration of these clerks based on the high quality of their work?
