Mr. TYSON WILSONasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether the staff employed at the India Store Depot are paid on the same scale as the staffs at other Government depots are paid?
Mr. ROBERTSApart from the special increases of two shillings and three shillings
2168Wa week recently conceded to unskilled labourers and certain grades of artisans and other employés in the War Office and Admiralty on account of abnormal war conditions, the scale of pay in the India Store Depot compares favourably with the scales hitherto in force in those Departments. The Secretary of State has at present under consideration a petition from certain members of the staff of the depot praying that the special wage concessions recently made in the War Office and Admiralty may be extended to them.
