HC Deb 14 March 1944 vol 398 cc35-6
58. Mrs. Cazalet Keir

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in planning the Government's new post-war scheme of recruitment for the Civil Service, he will give consideration to the abolition of the marriage bar.

Sir J. Anderson

The marriage bar, like all other similar questions, will naturally come under review when the Government are considering their plans for the postwar Civil Service.

Dr. Haden Guest

Will my right hon. Friend consult his colleague, the Minister of Education, who made a concession in this respect with regard to the elimination of the marriage bar?

Sir J. Anderson

I know all about that concession, but the conditions are not necessarily the same.

Viscountess Astor

The right hon. Gentleman may know about it but does he really understand it?
