§ 32. Mr. Hurdasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies when he expects the Salary Commission will complete the review of Colonial Service Salaries in East Africa.
§ The Secretary of State for the Colonies (Mr. Creech Jones)I expect to receive the report of the Commission at the end of this month.
§ Mr. HurdIs the Minister aware that district officers and others lower in the hierarchy, who are doing excellent work in East Africa, have not yet received any increase, whereas the senior officials have, and when such increases are made, will he make them retrospective?
§ Mr. Creech JonesI cannot answer the last part of the hon. Gentleman's question, but it was because of this that the Commission was appointed.
