HC Deb 20 March 1905 vol 143 c473
MR. DELANY (Queen's County, Ossory)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether, as the term junior clerk is not recognised by the Civil Service Commissioners, he will state to what class of officials the Department of Agriculture applies the term; and whether it is correct to describe as such the Catholic gentlemen who have eleven years service under the Crown, and whose work (the drafting and writing of correspondence, interviewing callers, and conducting of registries) requires initiative and training.

MR. WALTER LONG

The term "junior clerk" is a popular designation of clerks who are in the lower grades of the Civil Service.
