§ 88. Viscount EDNAMasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury how many non-service men, and how many women, are employed in the Royal Commission on Sugar Supplies in a temporary capacity; and what steps he is taking to secure that the posts held by such personnel shall be filled by ex-service men who have been discharged from Government Departments and are now awaiting reallocation?
Mr. YOUNGFifteen non-service men and one woman are employed in a temporary capacity in the Royal Commission on Sugar Supplies. The present staff will be considerably reduced as from the 25th instant, and thereafter only a few officers with special qualifications and experience will be retained in order to complete the liquidation of the Commission's accounts.
