101. Mr. Ian Harvey

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how the salaries of the directing staff of the Civil Defence College compare with those of equivalent appointments at the Army and Royal Air Force Staff Colleges, respectively.

Sir D. Maxwell Fyfe

The basic salary scales of the Commandant and instructors at the Civil Defence Staff College are:

Commanda—£1,325–£1,725.

Chief Instructors—£950–£1,075.

Instructors—£740–£950 and £625–£810.

It is not possible to equate appointments at this civilian establishment with those at Service establishments.

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department to what extent members of the directing staff of the Civil Defence Staff College are admitted to the permanent establishment of the Civil Service.

Sir D. Maxwell Fyfe

The directing staff of the Civil Defence Staff College are all temporary civil servants. The possibility of introducing an establishment scheme for which these officers and those at other Civil Defence training schools might be eligible is at present under consideration.

103. Mr. Ian Harvey

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what standard of accommodation is provided for members of the directing staff of the Civil Defence Staff College.

Sir D. Maxwell Fyfe

Some of the instructors at the Civil Defence Staff College pay for single quarters in the College, while others pay rent for four and three-bedroom houses in the neighbourhood. A four-bedroom house in the College grounds is being adapted for the use of the Commandant.
