HC Deb 18 March 1974 vol 870 cc30-1W
33. Mr. Lipton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what action he is taking to deal with the pay claim of the fingerprint officers at New Scotland Yard.

Dr. Summerskill

The pay of Metropolitan Police fingerprint officers is linked to that of the scientific Civil Service. The method of determining the pay of this group is currently being examined by the Pay Board, and my right hon. Friend will consider the situation as quickly as possible in the light of the board's report.
