48. Mr. FRED HALLasked the Prime Minister whether, in the particulars recently furnished by him of cases in which the private secretaries of Members of the Government had been given permanent positions in the Civil Service, he included the appointment of such persons as Commissioners under the National Insurance Act in either England, Scotland, Ireland, or Wales?
§ The PRIME MINISTERCommissionerships under the National Insurance Act are not, except in the case of the chairmen of the Commissions, permanent appointments in the Civil Service, and therefore were not included in the particulars which I recently gave the hon. Member in reply to his question, but I understand that the only private secretary appointed to a commissionership was Mr. J. Rowland, who became a Welsh Insurance Commissioner, and this appointment is not permanent.
