HC Deb 05 December 1932 vol 272 c1243W
Mr. HICKS

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if, taking the whole Civil Service, he will give the number of persons employed who receive less than £2 a week (salary and bonus included); the number receiving less than £4 a week; the number receiving less than £5 a week; and those over £5 a week?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

It is estimated that the numbers of whole-time non-industrial employés in the Civil Service (including men, women, and juveniles) within the various limits referred to are approximately as follow:

£2 per week or less 35,000
£4 per week or less 183,000
£5 per week or less 219,000
Over £5 per week 52,000

The totals in the second and third category include those in the category preceding them. I regret that similar information is not available as regards industrial staffs numbering approximately 115,500 on 1st October, 1932.
