§ Mr. N. MACLEANasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the initial rate of consolidated pay for a subordinate officer in a Borstal institution in Scotland; and what was the weekly amount payable specially to Borstal officers as recommended by the Stanhope Report and accepted by the Government applying prior to the consolidation scheme?
§ Sir G. COLLINSThe initial rate of consolidated pay for subordinate officers of the lowest grade at the Borstal institutions at Polmont and at Greenock are 48s. 11d. a week for men and 41s. 2d. a week for women, less temporary abatements of 1s. 2d. and 1s. 1d. a week respectively so long as half the emergency reductions in remuneration remain in force. These rates include the special non-pensionable allowance of 3s. a week recommended by the Stanhope Committee. Prior to the consolidation of remuneration on 1st July last, the corresponding rates of pay as recommended by the Stanhope Committee were 29s. a week for men and 24s. a week for women, plus a variable cost-of-living bonus and the special non-pensionable allowance referred to, amounting in the aggregate, immediately prior to consolidation, to 46s. 6d. a week for men and 39s. a week for women.
