§ 17. Mr. Hoyasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what changes have been made in the salary scales of the permanent secretaries at the Scottish Office; and how many are affected.
§ Mr. J. StuartIn accordance with the recommendations of the Royal Commission, which have been applied to the Civil Service from 1st July, the new rate of pay of the Permanent Under-Secretary of State is £6,000 per annum, and that of the Secretaries of my four Departments £4,200 per annum.
§ Mr. HoyMay I ask the right hon. Gentleman if, in addition to these salaries, his officials have travelling allowances and allowances for living in London?
§ Mr. StuartThey certainly have the normal travelling allowance, but I should like to give a further answer on any other point later.
