§ Mr. Chaterasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the total present 1393W annual cost of the war supplementations to wages and salaries to all civil servants, including the postal and police services?
§ Captain CrookshankThe police services are not part of the Civil Service. They are paid by the police authorities. As regards non-industrial civil servants, the existing bonus scheme provides for 10s. a week for adult men and 7s. 6d. for women on salaries up to £250 per annum; 5s. 0d. for men and 4s. 0d. for women on salaries between £250 and £500; and for juveniles 3s. 0d. for those under age 18 and 5s. 0d. for those of 18 and over but under 21. No statistics are now available as to the distribution of civil servants according to age and salary groups, and I regret therefore that the total figure for which the hon. Member asks cannot be supplied.
