§ Mr. HayhoeThe following table gives the cumulative percentage increase in basic pay for each of the main non-industrial Civil Service employment groups from the last two years' pay settlements. The increases were negotiated on the basis of evidence about the rates paid for comparable work outside the Civil Service. They accordingly reflect variations in the pay of different employment groups outside and the differences in increases for individual grades within each group are embraced by the overall figures.
