5.
That, in January this year Government intimated
that it then proposed to apply the new scales to existing
officers on promotion.
6.
That, accordingly YOUR petitioners addressed to
the Head of their Department a letter dated the 25th February 1938 (Enclosure A) explaining how these proposed new scales
affected them.
7.
That, YOUR petitioners were informed, this letter
was forwarded to Government by the Head of YOUR petitioners
Department with the recommendation that Government give
consideration to the matters contained therein.
8.
That, subsequently Government appointed three
officers of the local Service as an Anomalies Committee to
report upon the anomalies which would result from the
introduction of the proposals referred to in paragraph 4
above.
9.
That, although YOUR petitioners' letter (Enclosure
A) had been duly forwarded to Government and was presumably
available for consideration by the Anomalies Committee, the
proposals in this Committee's Report did not remove the
anomalies pointed out in the above mentioned letter.
10.
That, accordingly YOUR petitioners addressed, to
the Head of their Department, a further letter dated the 27th July, 1938, (Enclosure B) which amplified their letter of the
25th February, 1938, gave their views on prospects and
showed that it appeared that discrimination was being shown
against YOUR petitioners vis-a-vis other professional
officers of the Service.
11.
That, YOUR petitioners are informed, this second
letter was forwarded to Government with the strong support
of the Head of their Department.
12.
That, it is now learnt, Government has recently
submitted the Anomalies Committee Report to YOU for approval
