§ 24. Mr. Spenceasked the Secretary of State for Scotland when it is proposed to regrade the salary station of provincial agriculture economists.
§ Mr. WestwoodI assume that the Question refers to the staffs of the Agricultural Economics departments of the three Scottish Agricultural Colleges. New gradings and salary scales for these staffs have been settled and will operate as from 1st October last. I am hopeful that the arrangements which are now being discussed for assimilating existing personnel to the new gradings will be intimated to the college authorities very shortly.
