§ Mr. BOWERMANasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will consider the desirability of issuing instructions for the new scales of pay of Grade IV clerks, as approved under the reorganisation scheme for War Office out-station departments, with effect from April, 1924, to be put into operation without further delay?
§ Captain KINGThere are considerable difficulties in carrying out the suggestion, which is already under consideration. No such request has been received from the staff side of the Whitley Council, but before any decision is taken they will be consulted. Payment, whenever it is made, will be with effect from 1st April, 1924.
