§ Sir J. NALLasked the Minister of Pensions if he can now state what arrangements have been made to establish the P-class salaried officers of the Ministry of Pensions?
§ Major TRYONIn accordance with the recommendation of the Royal Commission on the Civil Service and the report of the negotiating Committee (including representatives of the staff concerned) appointed to consider the application of the Royal Commission's findings, the P-crass salaried officers will be appointed to the basic grade of the General Clerical Class of the Established Civil Service as from the 1st instant. These appointments will, of course, be subject to the 1191W usual requirements, e.g., as regards age, health and character, and, as the Commission recommended, there will be a system of temporary allowances which will preserve existing emoluments commensurate with the duties performed by these officers.
