All county councils now apply a standard rate of wages to the grade of engineers' office assistant with the exception that certain engineers' office assistants who enjoyed higher levels of wages when the standard rate was introduced, were allowed to retain the higher rates. I have no information on the rates of wages payable on the dates mentioned in the question other than the standard rates which were as follows:
31st December, 1968—
£11×16/—£15 per week.
1st April, 1969—
£11 17 6 × 16/—£15 17 6 per week.
1st June, 1969—
£12 5 0 × 16/—£16 5 0 per week.
