§ 65. Mr. R. Gibsonasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether the scheme for collecting contributions for hospital purposes recently decided on will extend to non-industrial workers on Government staffs at home as well as to industrial workers on the said staffs, as is the case in the Admiralty service at home; and, if so, what services will be affected and how many workers in each service?
§ Lieut.-Colonel ColvilleYes, Sir. The scheme will be made available to all Government staffs at home, whether industrial or non-industrial. The non-industrial staffs number approximately 370,000, and I am sending to the hon. and learned Member a copy of Command Paper 5543. which shows their distribution.
