HC Deb 11 March 1919 vol 113 c1101W
Mr. CLYNES

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether a scheme for a revision of salaries and extension of working hours of Civil servants is under consideration; and whether, before any decision is come to, arrangements will be made for a joint conference of both sides in view of the delay in establishing Whitley Councils in the Civil Service?

Mr. BALDWIN

Opportunity will be taken to ascertain the views of Civil servants as to any general scheme for revision of salaries before it is put into effect.

Sir PHILIP PILDITCH

asked the Prime Minister whether it is the intention, in connection with the proposed consideration of the scheme for the revision of salaries for Civil servants, to take representatives of the Civil Service into consultation before the alterations are decided on?

Mr. BALDWIN

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I have given to-day to the right hon. Member for the Platting Division of Manchester.
