§ 31. Mr. Pattieasked the Minister for the Civil Service whether he is prepared to reconsider the distance within which London weighting is payable to civil servants with a view to extending it to 20 miles from the present 18.
§ Mr. Charles R. MorrisNo. The Outer London area for the non-industrial Civil Service was extended last year to 18 miles, with some exceptions, in order to align it with the long-standing area of the industrial Civil Service. The area is already larger than that recommended by the Pay Board, and there are no grounds for extending it still farther.
