HC Deb 18 April 1923 vol 162 c2035
31. Mr. HIRST

asked 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. BARLOW

Separate 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. HAYDAY

asked 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.
