37. Mr. ROBINSONasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the number of persons employed in the civil Departments who have no claim to pension after the completion of 11 or more years' service; and the number that are eligible on retirement to a gratuity of one week's pay for each year of service?
§ The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Ronald McNeill)The estimated number of civilians employed in an unestablished capacity by Departments in this country, other than industrial employés, is approximately 115,000, of whom about 52,000 are part-timers. The number of unestablished industrial employeés is estimated to be about 94,000. I have no sufficient information to estimate the number of employeés who may become eligible for gratuities if they satisfy the conditions of Section 4 of the Superannuation Act, 1887.
