ABSTRACT THE twenty-first annual report of the Council of the Institution of Professional Civil Servants, presented to the annual general meeting on April 25, indicates that in spite of the
pre-occupation of Government departments, and especially the defence departments, with more pressing issues than service conditions, the Council has been available to secure a considerable
number of increases in salary and other improvements in the conditions of employment. The report gives a review of activities which shows that the Council has fully maintained its vigilance
over the interests of members in the difficult conditions of war-time, despite the removal to temporary offices and the heavier responsibilities falling on the honorary officers since the
usual method of control by Council and its committees came in abeyance, and that claims or representations have been preferred with a sense of proportion and balance highly creditable to the
