§ 70. Mr. Jannerasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if he is aware that a salary claim on behalf of office keepers and deputy office keepers was lodged by the Civil Service Union with the Treasury on 16th May, 1946; and when negotiations on the claim can be expected to commence.
§ Mr. Glenvil HallYes, Sir, and I understand that a letter will be sent to the union shortly. Consideration of the claim was deferred, with the acquiescence of the union, until the pay of the messengers, who are controlled by the office keepers, was settled in December, 1946. Since then certain proposals for reorganisation of duties have held up the claim.
