asked the Secretary of State for War when the arrears of overtime rates made to industrial civilian employees in June, 1948, and back-dated to January, 1947, will be paid to the 647 Company, R.A.S.C. Fleet, Scottish Command, at Sandbank, Dunoon, Scotland.

It is expected that all accounts will have been completed and all individuals paid by August next. The delay in settling these arrears has been due to the work involved in scrutinising the overtime records of each member of the company going back over more than two years with the added complication of many changes of rank and postings.
