§ 12. Mr. ROWLANDSasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury when the agreement for giving the staff of the Public Trustee's Department a permanent and pensionable status will become operative?
§ Mr. ACLANDThe agreement referred to by my hon. Friend will become operative as soon as Civil Service certificates are issued in favour of the members of the Public Trustee's staff.
§ Mr. ROWLANDSHow many have applied for these?
§ Mr. ACLANDI do not think it is a question of individual applications, but a question as to what the Department applies, on behalf of the staff, to be taken over.
