HC Deb 05 February 1941 vol 368 c915
7. Mr. Simmonds

asked the Secretary of State for Air what provision has been made for payment to station engineers who work periods in excess of the normal working week?

Sir A. Sinclair

Station engineers employed under the Air Ministry Works Directorate who work periods in excess of their normal working week are now eligible for bonus payments under a scheme recently introduced, which takes effect retrospectively from 1st August, 1940.

Mr. Simmonds

Has this scheme actually been announced, and have claims now been invited from these engineers?

Sir A. Sinclair

Yes, Sir, instructions have been issued, and I will certainly give my hon. Friend a copy of them if he wishes.

Mr. Simmonds

Would my right hon. Friend please look into the matter, because there seems to be great delay?

Sir A. Sinclair

Yes, Sir.
