HC Deb 19 January 1943 vol 386 c83W
Mrs. Cazalet Keir

asked the Home Secretary why women deputy-governors of prisons do not appear to be graded in the same way as men?

Mr. H. Morrison

There are only two women serving as deputy-governors of prisons. As my hon. Friend knows, it is the general principle in the Government Service to differentiate between the salary scale of men and women, and in fixing the salary scale for the women deputy-governors of prisons regard has been given to this principle and also to the nature of the duties and responsibilities falling on the holders of these two posts.
