§ 77. Mr. Rankinasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that the Government of Trinidad is advertising for a thoracic surgeon for the Caura Sanatorium at a salary of £1,200 to £1,300 a year; that this salary is lower than the lowest salary scale for a consultant in thoracic surgery in this country; and whether he will advise the Government of Trinidad to increase the salary to bring it into line with the standard in this country.
§ Mr. LytteltonI will consult the Governor about the salary of this post, but I would point out that the salary is only one of many factors to be taken into account when drawing comparisons with this country.
