§ 53. Major Legge-Bourkeasked the Minister of Agriculture the comparative rates of subsistence allowance under the N.A.A.S. and A.E.Cs., respectively, by grades and appointments; and if he is satisfied that all former employee of A.E.Cs. who have since been transferred to the N.A.A.S. and whose previous service was 6W comparable to that in the N.A.A.S. have received increments on their new scale for such previous service sufficient to ensure no fall in their net salary and allowances.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsThe answer to the first part of the Question involves a statistical statement, a copy of which I am sending to the hon. and gallant Member. The subsistence allowances under the National Agricultural Advisory Service are those applicable to the Civil Service generally, which are at present under review. The answer to the second part is that, except those officers without a statutory right of transfer who were appointed to Grade IV, which is a cadet grade, no officer of a county war agricultural executive committee has suffered a reduction in salary on transfer to the National Agricultural Advisory Service.
