§ Viscount Hinchingbrookeasked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether his assurance that scientific and technological staff to be employed in connectionwith the nationalised coalmines are not to be civil servants means that the principles contained in Cmd. 6679, that the salary scales of scientists and technologists should be inferior to those of administrators, will not be applied to them; and that more favourable rates will be offered under the scheme which he contemplates.
§ Mr. ShinwellI am unable at this juncture to state what salary scales will apply to the future employees of the authority operating the coal mines.
