§ 67. Mr. DAYasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he will state the number of industrial and non-industrial male and female workers employed in the various Departments of the State whose salaries, excluding emoluments, do not average for men 25s. 1475 per week in the provinces and for women 21s. 6d. per week?
§ Major ELLIOTInformation in the form desired by the hon. Member is not available. I am, however, causing the necessary inquiries to be made and will communicate the results to the hon. Member in due course.
§ Mr. DAYIs there a very considerable number of these women receiving just over 21s. a week in the employment of the Government?
§ Major ELLIOTI have promised to get the information and communicate it to the hon. Member.
§ Mr. DAYIs there any intention of asking those women who receive less than 21s. to accept a 10 per cent. reduction?
