§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that because of the Government's wage standstill senior probation officers are only receiving £1,450 per annum whilst supervising and in control of ordinary basic graded officers receiving 427W £1,510 per annum; and, as the senior probation officers' salary review was pending before the wages standstill, what action he proposes to take to remedy this situation.
§ Mr. TaverneMy right hon. Friend is aware of this anomaly. He has already undertaken to examine the position urgently in consultation with the Joint Negotiating Committee for the Probation and After-Care Service.
