Civil Service (Typing and Secretarial Grades)

HC Deb 30 March 1965 vol 709 c205W

40. Mr. H. Fraser

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will ensure that the rates paid to the Civil Service typing and secretarial grades are not in excess of those paid by private industry in respect of similar or higher qualifications.

Mr. MacDermot

Yes. Civil Service rates are determined on the basis of fair comparison with rates paid in outside employment for comparable work.
