§ 49. Mr. Brookeasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will now recognise the additional work and responsibilities falling upon post and district wardens by granting them rates of pay higher than that of ordinary wardens?
§ The Joint Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Home Security (Mr. Mabane)As indicated in the reply to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Duddeston (Mr. Simmonds) on 15th October, this question is now under examination.
§ Mr. BrookeWill my hon. Friend bear in mind that this applies not to the wardens' service only, but to all Civil Defence services; and will he see that they are treated alike when this matter is put right?
