Mr. Edward M. Taylorasked the Secretary of State for Scotland when the Regulations incorporating the new salary scales for policemen and policewomen in Scotland will be laid; and if he will make a statement.
333W
§ Mr. RossI expect these Regulations to be laid within the next two or three weeks. Applying the agreement reached by the Police Council to each point on the pay scales appropriate to each of the ranks affected and translating these data into draft regulations necessarily takes time. This part of the procedure has been completed and the local authority and police associations and the Police Council have been asked, as they must be, for comments on the Draft Regulations. As soon as this consultation has been completed the Regulations will be printed and laid.
