WAR DEPARTMENT OUT-STATION OFFICES (CLERKS).

HC Deb 21 February 1924 vol 169 cc2008-9W

Sir P. RICHARDSON

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will consider a revision of the rates of pay of ex-soldier temporary clerks employed in War Department offices with a view to making them equal to those paid for identical work in other Departments?

Major ATTLEE

The question of the future rates of pay of clerks, including ex-soldiers, employed in War Department out-station offices is at present before the Army Council, and I regret that I am not in a position to announce any decision at the moment.
