HC Deb 01 April 1946 vol 421 c124W
108. Mr. Teeing

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the recent announcements of increases in the pay of clerks and typists in certain Government Departments, he can now make a statement as to what decision has been reached about the increase in pay and allowances for clerks and typists in the British Embassy, Paris, and in British consulates in France.

Mr. McNeil:

Increases of pay granted in the United Kingdom have been or will be applied to equivalent staffs serving abroad who have been recruited in the United Kingdom. On the other hand certain reductions in the rates of sterling allowances in France as from 1st April are being considered in view of the appreciation of the value of sterling in francs.
