HC Deb 08 November 1916 vol 87 c218W
Sir GILBERT PARKER

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether he can see his way to extending the war bonus to the senior men of the abstractor class in receipt of salaries of £150 to £200 per annum, in view of the increasing cost of living, and who have had no rise of any kind for a number of years?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

I fear that it would not be practicable to give exceptional treatment, as suggested, to one particular category of employés in the Civil Service.
