asked the Secretary of State for War what is the reason for the non-payment of the special incremental rate in regard to war service to the clerks of the R.A. Records Office, Footscray, Sidcup.
Mr Emanuel Shinwell
, Seaham
The first payments under this award were issued to the clerks at the Footscray Record Office on 3rd October. The application of the award has, however, been extended by agreement with the Civil Service Alliance, and the instructions for implementing the extended arrangements were issued on 22nd October. The further payments due will be made as soon as the paying authorities are able to verify claims and make the necessary calculations.
Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
