Sir,
I have the honour to invite your attention to
Sir William Peel's confidential despatch of 21st April, 1932,
in which he reported that certain recommendations for the
creation of a through time-scale for European Overseers in the
Public Works Department and European Revenue Officers in the
Imports and Exports Department had been put into effect from
1st January, 1932. The despatch goes on to say "As regards
the Sanitary Inspectors, the Head of that department has
represented that these officers have at present opportunities
of promotion to Class 1 even before reaching the maximum of
Class 11, and that a through scale would thus be a diminution
and not an improvement of their prospects. No action will
therefore be taken with regard to this branch of the service."

Apart from two Chief Inspectors (£600 £700 by
£575
£25 annually) and five Senior Sanitary Inspectors (£475
by £20 annually), the personnel of the European Sanitary
Inspectorate at present consists of seventeen Class 1 Inspectors
(£370 - £430 by £15 annually) and thirty Class 11 Inspectors
(£260 - £350 by five annual increments of £10 and two of £20).
At the present time, no less than seventeen of the thirty
Class 11 Inspectors are on their maximum and four more will
