§ 82. Sir ROBERT NEWMANasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider the removal of the provision excluding married women from remaining in the Civil Service; and whether he is aware that the movement on the part of local education authorities and municipal bodies to dismiss their married women employés is being attributed to the example set by the Government in dismissing its women employés on marriage?
§ Mr. BALDWINThe answer to both parts of the question is in the negative. The position of the Government in this matter was explained in the reply which I gave yesterday to the hon. Member for Central Cardiff (Mr. Gould).
