§ 52. Mr. RAMSAYasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether, as between revenue officers appointed in the first instance to a particular grade and officers promoted to that grade, seniority is determined according to the date of entry into the particular grade or the date of entry into the Department; and how far, if at all, the rule is subject to variation by the heads of the Department?
§ The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Pethick-Lawrence)I am not clear as to the meaning of the hon. Member's question, and I am therefore writing to him on the matter.
