asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that the male staff at the Remand Home, Cathedral Road, Cardiff, are paid £5 7s. per week, less stoppages, and that they sometimes have to work 72 hours a week; and whether, in view of the responsible nature of the duties involved, he will give sympathetic consideration to a review of these salary rates.

Any review of these scales of salary is a matter for the negotiating body, representing employers and workers, which has recently been set up to deal with the pay and conditions of service of staffs of remand homes and other residential establishments for children.
