§ Major ELLIOTIn cases where men and women are employed in the same grade, it is already the practice to show the men's and women's scales of pay separately in the annual Estimates, but it would not be possible, at the time when the Estimates are prepared, to make an accurate forecast of the number of men and women who would be employed in each grade during the ensuing financial year.
§ 64. Mr. PARKINSONasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what is the number of temporary women pension officers; and whether it is proposed to put them on the establishment of the Customs and Excise Department?
