§ Major GLYNasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what is the average weekly pay of temporary clerks; whether there is any encouragement to efficiency or good service by allowing any annual increment of pay, in view of the fact that these men have neither security nor the prospect of the 401W usual scale of pension on retirement; and how the salary of this grade of civil servant, after about 15 years' service, compares on an average with the figure reached after the first four years of service?
Mr. SAMUELThe conditions of service of temporary clerks provide not only for annual increments of pay but also for advancement from one temporary grade to another. I am sending my hon. and gallant Friend a copy of the annexe to the current Bonus Revision Circular,
