HC Deb 28 January 1942 vol 377 c730W
Mr. David Adams

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that no adequate provision is made to meet the increased cost of living to members of the Civil Services in Trinidad; and whether he will recommend that war bonuses should now be granted to these applicants?

Mr. George Hall

A war bonus has been given to the lower paid members of the Trinidad Civil Service since January, 1941. The rates of this bonus have recently been increased.
