HC Deb 15 July 1937 vol 326 cc1481-2
47. Mr. Vyvyan Adams

asked the Prime Minister whether the proposals of His Majesty's Government for the future the junior clerical grade to the minimum of the scale laid down for the higher clerical officer grade, namely, £397 per annum?

Lieut.-Colonel Colville

The scale of pay for clerical officers was fixed by agreement with the Civil Service Clerical Association in May, 1936, and that Association was also a party to the agreement reached in June of this year with regard to the pay of higher clerical officers. I see no reason, therefore, for any revision of these recently agreed scales.
