HC Deb 30 April 1940 vol 360 c538
58. Mr. R. Gibson

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury how many recently-superannuated civil servants have been taken into Government service since 1st September 1939; how many civil servants have been superannuated since that date; and how many recently-superannuated civil servants have been, and are still listed for re-absorption into Government service?

Captain Crookshank

These statistics are not immediately available and their collection would involve considerable labour. The hon. and learned Member may rest assured that all possible use is being made of the services of retired civil servants in the present emergency.
