§ Mr. NANNETTIasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture, with reference to the undertaking given in his answer, dated 16th September last, to the hon. Member for Southampton, will he explain why the rates of pay for superintendents, as given on page 18 of the Report of the Departmental Committee appointed in 1891 (Cd. 6692), have been omitted from the revised Return (Cd. 4981); and will he cause the information in question to be now published?
§ Sir E. STRACHEYThe rates of pay of the various classes of minor superintendents in divisions are included in the revised scales of pay printed in the Return to which the hon. Member refers. The duties assigned to the superintendents at headquarters differ very materially in character and responsibility, and no uniform scale of pay applicable to all of them has therefore been prescribed.
