§ Mrs. Ewingasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will take steps to give a supplement to civil servants in Scotland to their salaries to enable them to meet the higher cost of living in Scotland.
§ Mr. Harold Lever:No. Except for the addition of London Weighting, which was recently the subject of a report by 646W the National Board for Prices and Incomes, civil servants throughout Great Britain are paid common rates of salary, based on a comparison with the pay of outside staffs doing comparable work.
