§ Mr. Royleasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what is the commencing salary in the Windward Islands for junior clerks in the Civil Service, and for teachers in elementary schools, respectively.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThe usual commencing salary for junior (in most cases Class III) clerks is $864 (£180). Under proposals which I approved in July but160W which are still, in some cases, under consideration locally by the teachers' unions, probationer teachers in elementary schools, who have broadly the same qualifications as Class III Clerks, would commence at $720, $780 or $840 (£150, £162 10s., or £175) depending on the standard of their qualifications.
