HC Deb 31 January 1957 vol 563 cc212-3W
77. Sir L. Plummer

asked the Minister of Labour if he will now improve the grading of the post of Senior Medical Inspector, so that it reflects more accurately the importance attached to industrial health organisations and equates with the grading of the chief medical officer of the Ministry of Pensions and National Insurance and of the Colonial Office as well as with the Treasury medical adviser.

Mr. Iain Macleod

No. The present grading of the post of Her Majesty's Senior Medical Inspector of Factories is based upon the recommendations of the Howitt Committee which reported in 1951. The salary has been adjusted in accordance with the recommendations of the Royal Commission on the Civil Service.
