HC Deb 05 February 1918 vol 101 c2095
70. Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCK

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has yet decided to remedy the injustice that, whereas the majority of persons employed in Government Departments are of the female sex, no woman has been appointed to sit on the Committee to inquire into the numbers and organisation of the clerical staffs employed in Government Departments?

Mr. BONAR LAW

Miss Hermia Durham, C.B.E., Chief Woman Officer, Employment Department, Ministry of Labour: has been appointed a member of the Committee.
