§ Mr. JOELasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether the half cut in Civil Service salaries has actually been paid from 1st July to any Civil servants; and if so, the grades which have benefited?
§ Mr. COOPERI understand that, as a general rule, in the case of staff paid weekly, payment has already been or will this week be made at the increased rates operative from 1st July. In the case of staff paid monthly, no payment, of course, falls to be made until the pay day at the end of the present month.
