§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will give a list of those persons employed in his Department or for whom he has Ministerial responsibility who were, on 23rd October, receiving salaries or wages of £28.40 per week; what were their grades or classifications; and whether, in these cases, rent allowances were paid in addition to these incomes.
§ Mr. CarlisleThese details could be obtained only at a disproportionate cost to public funds. Some 13,800 staff in various grades were on pay scales with minima less than and maxima more than £28.40 a week. Of these, only prison officers were entitled to rent allowance in lieu of official quarters.
