Mr. Best

asked the Minister for the Civil Service if she will name those grades of civil servants, if any, that are currently in receipt of a salary which is less than the amount of pension now payable to persons who formerly occupied such grades ; and what is the present difference for each grade.

Mr. Channon

I know of no such case.
