Colonel Wheatleyasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty if he will give an assurance that the carpenter scientific staffs of the Armament Supply Department will be placed on the rates of pay in accordance with the White Paper with regard to the Scientific Civil Service, 1945, and thus bring them into line with the carpenter scientific staffs in other Admiralty Departments.
§ Mr. W. EdwardsNo, Sir. I assume that the staff whom the hon. and gallant Member has in mind are chemists employed on the production side of the Royal Naval Propellant Factory. The revision of their rates of pay is, however, under consideration.
