§ Mr. BECKERasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether, in view of the inadequate pay of the minor grades of the Civil Service, he proposes to take any steps to improve their position?
Mr. GRAHAMThis question covers a large number of grades with varying duties and qualifications and remunerated in accordance with a number of separate agreements, the merits of which it is hardly possible to discuss within the limits of question and answer. One of the organisations preferring claims on behalf of the grades concerned has been asked to furnish necessary evidence, and on receipt of that information the claims will be given further consideration.
