HC Deb 08 November 1948 vol 457 c152W
52. Mr. Gallacher

asked the Minister of Agriculture what instructions have been issued to the county A.E.C.s with regard to the payment during sickness of the various grades of workers employed by them.

Mr. G. Brown

County agricultural executive committees have instructions to make payment during sickness to agricultural workers employed by them in accordance with the arrangements described in my reply of 1st November to the hon. Member for Newbury, a copy of which I am sending to the hon. Member. Administrative and clerical staff now come under the ordinary Civil Service rules. No special instructions have been issued for sick pay in the case of workers in other non-agricultural occupations.
