HC Deb 10 March 1925 vol 181 cc1108-9
58. Mr. DALTON

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury in what Departments, if any, has the question of common seniority between men and women been under consideration, in accordance with the recommendations of the Report of the Committee appointed by the Treasury in 1922 to examine and report on the application of the principle of common seniority lists for men and women; and what action the Treasury has taken to bring the recommendations to the notice of Departments?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Churchill)

A draft Treasury Circular bringing to the notice of heads of Departments the Report of the Committee to consider the application to the reorganisation classes of the principle of common seniority lists for men and women was discussed on the motion of the staff side at the last meeting of the National Whitley Council and at their request further consideration was postponed until the next meeting which will be held shortly.
