HC Deb 07 March 1933 vol 275 cc994-5
50. Rear-Admiral SUETER (forLieut.- Commander BOWER)

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what is the reason for withholding a list of ex-service P class clerks in the tax inspectorate for promotion to the established class, as contemplated under Clause V of the Government Memorandum of 12th January, 1925, and in accordance with the practice of the board, to authorise such promotions each year?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

Between 1928 and 1931 386 P class men were promoted to be tax clerks. The question whether further promotions can be made from the ex-service class is being considered in the light of all the relevant circumstances including the availability of vacancies.
