§ Mr. Walker-Smithasked the Minister of Agriculture whether there is a uniform rate of pay for clerks on the staff of W.A.E.C.s; and whether such rate is based on corresponding Civil Service rates.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsNo uniform rate of pay for clerical staffs of war agricultural executive committees has been adopted. The normal practice is for clerks to be paid wages based on the rates prevailing in the district; in some instances this rate is equivalent to the Civil Service rates.
