§ MR. PERCY M. THORNTON (Clapham)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether the normal clerical establishment of all the departments of the Admiralty have yet been sent to the Treasury; and, if not, when they will be sent; and whether any promotion which may ensue on the sanction of these establishments will take effect from the same date as those lately made in the Accountant General's Department; and, if not, from what date?
THE SECRETARY TO THE ADMIRALTY (Sir UGHTRED KAY-SHUTTLE-WORTH, Lancashire, N.E., Clitheroe)Proposals as regards the clerical establishment of the Admiralty will be before the Treasury a few days hence. Promotions to staff clerkships only take effect from the date of the Civil Service certificate in each case.
