asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has received a communication from representatives of the temporary staff employed in His Majesty's Departments of State requesting an interview to discuss the proposals to reduce the rates of pay; and will he receive the deputation before the revised rates become operative?

I beg to refer the hon. Member to the answer given yesterday to the hon. Member for the Bedwelty Division of Monmouth (Mr. Edwards), to which I have nothing to add.
