CIVIL SERVICE “CUTS”
PRIME MINISTER’S STATEMENT. Members of the Public Service Association and the Post and Telegraph Officers’ Association are pressing for a restoration of the salary “cuts” made in 1921-22, but a deputation from both these bodies was informed by the Prune Minister that he could not hold out any hope of immediately restoring or ■ increasing the pay of public servants. Until the-end of the financial year, when the Government would know what its finances were like, there was no hope* at all of giving effect to their request. The Government would go into the whole question for the yea© 1926-27, and would be glad probably to discuss the matter at different times wit'll the aFSocintiQEs. so that they might know as much about it ns he did, and say what they wanted to about it. They were anxious to try and bring about co-operation between the Government and the Civil Service, and feel that discussion had been open, frank, and free. It was hoped to give satisfaction, but he knew how impossible it was to please everybody.
