HC Deb 28 June 1938 vol 337 cc1742-3W
Mr. Kelly

asked the Secretary of State for War whether wages in Malta were based on a cost-of-living scale prior to 1925 for War Department employés, and, if so, will he publish the particulars of such scale?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

On the assumption that the hon. Member refers to locally-engaged employés, the answer to the first part of the question is "Yes, Sir." The following is the scale referred to in the second part of the question:

Weekly basic wages. Bonus.
s. d.
Up to 21s. … 9 0
Above 21s. and up to 24s. … 10 0
Above 24s. and up to 27s. … 11 0
Above 27s. and up to 30s. … 12 0
Above 30s. … 13 0
