average weekly salaries, the cash value of the respective scales of bonus, and the scales of weekly pension, where a civil servant is entitled to one, of the following grades: Writing assistants of the various classes, clerical grades and "P" class civil servants; and what are the total number of persons serving in each of the above?

Mr. SAMUEL

I append tables showing the present range of weekly salaries appropriate to officers serving in London in the grades to which my hon. and gallant Friend refers, together with the total numbers employed in those grades.

As regards pension rates, the pension of an established Civil Servant who retires in circumstances entitling him to pension is normally calculated under the Superannuation Act, 1909, at the rate of one-eightieth of the annual salary and emoluments of his office for each completed year served by him. There are also lump sum awards on retirement or death in the service.
