§ Mr. McENTEEasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he is aware that certain temporary women clerks who sat in the 1919 establishment examination and passed into the clerical class by this means, are now worse off financially than those who failed in 1919 but passed the 1920 clerical class examination owing to Treasury action in excluding the former from the benefits of the Southborough Committee findings on starting pay; and whether he will have this anomaly remedied?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSI would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave to the hon. Member for Lambeth, North (Mr. Briant), on the 26th July.
