HC Deb 05 July 1927 vol 208 cc1070-1
51. Sir JOHN POWER

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the total wastage of the Civil Service from all causes during the year ended 31st March; and the total number of persons recruited for the service during the same period?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. McNeill)

The net result of the operation of the two processes referred to by my hon. Friend will be found by a comparison of the total staffs of Government Departments as shown in the statement presented to Parliament quarterly. I am sending him copies of the statements relating to the financial year 1926–27. A detailed analysis giving the total wastage and total recruitment during the financial year 1926–27 is not at present available.
