§ 31. Mr. HIRSTasked the Minister of Labour how many ex-service women registered as clerical workers at London Employment Exchanges between October, 1019 and October, 1920, and since that date, respectively?
§ Sir M. BARLOWSeparate statistics of the registrations of ex-service women are not available and I regret therefore that the information asked for cannot be given.
§ 33. Mr. HAYDAYasked the Minister of Labour how many ex-service women have been appointed to the temporary Civil Service through the Joint Substitution Board since its inception; and how many have been transferred from one department to another in order that dismissal might be averted, in each of the following grades: typists arid shorthand-typists, graded clerks, and junior administrative assistants and over?
§ The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Major Boyd-Carpenter)Separate figures are not available showing the numbers of ex-service men arid ex-service women respectively placed by the Joint Substitution Board in Government Departments. The number of applications received by the Board from ex-service women is very small, and in practically every case in which the Board has been satisfied that the ex-service claims of the woman entitled her to preferential treatment it has been found possible to appoint her to a temporary post. A detailed record has not been kept of the grades to which such women have been appointed.
