Scale of Pay for Various grades as per Staff Economy Report:—Even if the Special Committee had desired to do so the terms of reference did not include an opinion on whether the scale of Basic Pay for various grades as at July 1, 1937 was adequate and so as these have not been altered (except in those cases covering heads of senior departments which have been covered by our recommendations) no opinion is expressed.
One special post has been created io become effective on July 1, 1939, combining the duties of Secretary General and Secretary, ana after examining the replies io the questionnaire and considering the responsibilities attaching to that post and the qualifications the person holding such a post must have, the Special Committee thinks that the salary of £2,500 per annum is not excessive.
