§ 35. Mr. Blackasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he intends to implement those recommendations of the Masterman Committee which would reduce the political rights at present enjoyed by certain categories of civil servants.
§ Mr. GaitskellThis matter is still under consideration and discussions are taking place on the National Whitley Council.
§ Mr. BlackDoes not the right hon. Gentleman think that it is most unfair that these civil servants should continue to be left in uncertainty, and will he endeavour to make up his mind?
§ Mr. GaitskellThe position is that parts of the Masterman Report which involved the removal of restrictions were put into force, and the part that involved the application of restrictions has been suspended.
