§ Mrs. Cazalet Keirasked the Under-Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs which of the Dominions have the same rate of pay for men and women in their Civil Service.
§ Mr. Emrys EvansAccording to my information, the position is as follows:
In Canada there are equal rates of pay for men and women in all the grades of the Civil Service for which both men and women are eligible. There are some posts to which women are not appointed.
In the Commonwealth of Australia, the normal rates of pay for women members of the public services are less than those for men, but women temporarily employed during the war on work which is usually performed by men are usually granted the full men's rates of pay.
In the Civil Services of New Zealand and the Union of South Africa the rates of pay for men and women differ.
Different rates of pay are in force in Eire, with certain limited exceptions.
