HC Deb 14 July 1937 vol 326 c1272W
Mr. Ammon

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether, taking the figures for the year ended 31st March, 1936, he will state the exact amount of overtime in terms of finance paid to members of the clerical and sub-clerical staff in the taxes branch of the Inland Revenue Department; and whether he can equally give the cost of overtime per head of the staff over the whole service as compared with the cost of overtime in the taxes branch of the Inland Revenue?

Lieut.-Colonel Colville

The total amount of the overtime payments to the staff in question during the year ended 31st March, 1936, was about £140,000, averaging £10 16s. per head. The average overtime payment to members of the clerical and sub-clerical staff over the Government Service as a whole during the same period was £47s. per head.
