§ Colonel Ropnerasked the Minister of Agriculture the reason for the delay in adjusting the salaries of his veterinary staff 67W as in the case of the Scientific Civil Service as a whole; and by what date he anticipates that the veterinary staff will have their salaries suitably aligned with other members of that Service.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsIt has been necessary to consider the salary scales of Veterinary Officers in conjunction not only with those proposed in the White Paper on the Scientific Civil Servants, but also with the scales of other professional and technical staffs of Government Departments which are under review. Definite proposals have now been communicated to representatives of the staff and of the National Veterinary Medical Association and I hope that it will be possible for new scales to (be put into operation at an early date.
