§ 50. Lieut.-Colonel Bolesasked the Minister of Agriculture, whether he aware that the dispute about the unsatisfactory scale of salaries for the veterinary staff of his Ministry is still unsettled; and if it has been decided whether negotiations on this matter can continue, following the issue of the White Paper about limitation of salary increases.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsI do not agree that the scale is unsatisfactory. Taken as a whole it is at least as favourable as the scale for the scientific officer class In any case the circumstances described in the White Paper on Personal Incomes preclude any revision at present.
