§ MR. LOUGHI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the promotion of the clerical staff in prisons to posts similar to that of deputy governor may be taken to imply that these appointments will rank along with that of deputy governors for promotion to fourth class governorships according to date of creation, as in the case of Mr. Bartle referred to?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENTThe class of governor storekeepers to whom the honourable Member refers rank with deputy governors, and will be promoted to higher grades if they prove themselves qualified for the more responsible charge.
