HC Deb 01 April 1936 vol 310 cc2005-6
73. Miss CAZALET

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the number of women holding posts in the Civil Service whose salaries are less than those of men whom they are supervising?

Mr. W. S. MORRISON

I regret that the information desired by my hon. Friend is not immediately available, and the extensive investigation which would be necessary in order to obtain it would not be justified. The cases which my hon. Friend has in mind must, I think, be rare.

Miss CAZALET

Does not the hon. Gentleman think that, apart from the unfairness to women, it is against the general interests of the Civil Service to continue this practice?

Mr. MORRISON

There is to be a Debate on that question to-day, and we had better leave it until the Debate arises.
