§ Mr. GOLDSTONEasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if he will say what was the amount of the weekly remuneration paid to clerks in the recruiting office at Sunderland when the office was first opened; what is the present rate of 810W weekly remuneration; whether additional payment is now paid for overtime; and whether any clerks formerly employed in the office at Sunderland applied unsuccessfully for some recognition of the many hours of overtime which they had worked?
§ Mr. H. BAKERThe rate was at first 24s. a week, and then became 30s. to cover all overtime. There will be, in addition, a bonus from the money issuable as recruiting rewards. I am not aware that there were any individual applications of the nature mentioned in the last part of the question.
