HC Deb 27 September 1939 vol 351 c1348W
Mr. A. Edwards

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will arrange that no paid appointments in this country shall carry a higher rate of remuneration than is allowed in the Fighting Forces for a corresponding standard of service?

Captain Crookshank

It is not easy to attempt the comparisons suggested, but if the hon. Member has particularly in mind temporary civilian appointments in the Government service, my right hon. Friend is satisfied that the remuneration in these cases is not out of scale with the remuneration of comparable positions in the Armed Forces.
