MINISTRY OF LABOUR (WOMEN, PROMOTION).

HC Deb 01 December 1938 vol 342 cc570-1

9. Mr. Day

asked the Minister of Labour the number of women who have been promoted to the Departmental clerical classes of the Ministry for the 12 months ended to the last convenient date?

Mr. E. Brown

Forty women were promoted to the Departmental clerical class of the Ministry during the 12 months ended 30th November, 1938.

Mr. Day

Is this by competitive examination?

Mr. Brown

It is the usual way.

Mr. Day

Were any men displaced?

Mr. Brown

That is an entirely different question. If the hon. Member wants to know how many men were promoted in the same period I will tell him—110.
