MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT
SALARY CUTS TO BE RESTORED
RETROSPECTIVE FROM Ist JULY (By Telegraph—Press Association) V/ELLINGTON, This Day. Cuts made in the salaries of members of Parliament during the depression will be restored in the same way as those for other workers in the legislation which will be brought down by the Government when Parliament resumes on 21st July. As with other salaries and wag-V members will have retrospective payment from Ist July. This was indicated by the Prime Minister (the Rt. Hon. M. J. Savage) in an interview. Mr Savage made it clear that the Government would take steps necessary to ensure that the workers were not victimised because of the increase in wages following restoration, and that the Government would not countenance dismissals purely on the ground that they were warranted by the increase. It was not likely, he said, that the Government would pave the way for workers and wage earners generally to benefit and then allow that benefit to be taken away from them.
