§ Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will take steps to ensure, when the technical college 220W salary scales of 1st November, 1956, come under review, that due consideration is given to the period which has elapsed between that date and the completion of the review; and if he will accordingly adjust the scales to take account of the rising costs and increased salaries in the universities and other comparable professions.
§ Mr. MaclayI see no reason to depart from the normal practice, which is to fix scales at the level appropriate on the date from which they are to take effect.
