§ 59. Sir A. BEITasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he has considered the representations made by the National Association of Women Civil Servants, namely, that the policy of open recruitment to the clerical and executive grades considerably diminishes the prospects of the lower grades of filling vacancies in their grades; and what action he proposes to take?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAMy hon. Friend presumably refers to a communication from this Association dated the 22nd November. The question of appointments to the clerical class had already been raised by the Staff Side of the Civil Service National Whitley Council, and is still under discussion thereon.
