§ 55. Mr. KELLYasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether, 2190 among the employés of the tax offices of the country, there are any in receipt of less than £2 per week; and whether, in that case, he can give details?
§ Mr. W. S. MORRISONThe full-time staff of the Chief Inspector of Taxes in the Inland Revenue Department includes 426 persons who are in receipt of less than £2 per week. Of these, 32 are established male officers, who are all below the age of 18; 337 are established female officers, who are all below the age of 20. The remaining officers are employed on a temporary basis.
§ Mr. MORRISONI have indicated in my reply that the great bulk of the cases which I have mentioned are those of very junior appointments, and I think that that should satisfy the hon. Member.
