§ Mr. GUYasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, in view of the fact that women are invited to apply for a vacancy in the Edinburgh branch of the solicitor's department of the Inland Revenue, why there is any differentiation in pay offered to women and men candidates, since both have to have the same legal qualifications?
§ Mr. COOPERThe differentiation in pay is in accordance with general Civil Service practice.
§ Mr. GUYHow can my hon. Friend reconcile his reply with the terms of the Sex Disqualification Act?
Viscountess ASTORWill my hon. Friend give us an answer to that question, particularly as there are so many Members of the Cabinet on the Front Bench to day, and they are all pledged to it?
§ Mr. COOPERI understand that there will be an opportunity of discussing this question tomorrow.
