HC Deb 13 May 1915 vol 71 c1808
50. Mr. HORNER

asked whether, in view of the fact that the services of many temporary Civil servants have been dispensed with by Goernment departments owing to the War, His Majesty's Government will use their best endeavour to employ these men in some other capacity in departments in which men are required?

Mr. ACLAND

I should be glad if it should prove possible to make such arrangements, but it would, of course, depend on the nature of the qualifications of the persons whom the hon. and learned Member has in mind whether they could advantageously be employed in other Departments requiring assistance, inasmuch as the emergency work required is ordinarily little more than routine clerical work.
