HC Deb 04 May 1927 vol 205 c1627
59. Sir J. POWER

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the number of persons, other than ex-service men and temporary civil servants, added to the permanent establishment of the Civil Service since the Armistice?

Mr. McNEILL

The detailed particulars involved in this inquiry could only be ascertained by the scrutiny of a very large number of individual records, and I do not think that the labour involved would be justified.
