§ Mr. GRIFFITHSasked the Minister of Pensions whether he is aware that certain ex-temporary established women clerical officers are acting as assistant divisional superintendents without receiving the remuneration of those employed on routine clerical work; that in certain instances this has been going on for months; and whether he will now go into the question of granting substantive rank to writing assistants and junior clerical officers in his Department who have been efficiently performing duties higher than those of the grade whose pay they receive, and will also consider giving those concerned an allowance for the period during which they have been acting in supervisory and other higher positions than those normally filled by junior members of their grades?

§ Major TRYONI am not aware of any cases falling within the terms of the first part of the question. As regards the last part, it is the fact that in a few cases recently established clerical officers and writing assistants have continued to perform the duties of the posts on which they were engaged prior to establishment, as a temporary measure, pending permanent appointments being made to those posts. The question whether some additional remuneration can be paid to them is under consideration.
