§ 2. Mr. Sheldonasked the Minister for the Civil Service what further studies he has initiated in connection with the implementation of the unified grading structure in the Civil Service.
§ Mr. George ThomsonI have been asked to reply.
Our plans are developing rapidly; but I am afraid I cannot at the moment go beyond what my right hon. Friend said in reply to my hon. Friend's Question on 10th February—[Vol. 777, c. 860–1]—and the Report which has been placed in the Vote Office.
§ Mr. SheldonIs my right hon. Friend aware that this Question was put down before the publication of this latest Report, which I am sure that the whole House welcomes, and that we look forward to an early implementation on this important matter?
§ Mr. ThomsonI am obliged to my hon. Friend.
