§ MR. GENT-DAVIS (Lambeth, Kennington)asked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether he can assure the House that, pending the Report of the Royal Commission on Civil Establishments, writers will not be compulsorily retired from the Civil Service except for misconduct or refusing to servo when called upon?
§ THE SECRETARY (Mr. JACKSON) (Leeds, N.)I am not aware of any intention to remove copyists from the register compulsorily, as it is anticipated that sufficient vacancies will occur by voluntary retirement. I do not think it necessary or desirable to give any formal assurance.
