EARL of RONALDSHAYasked the Secretary to the Treasury if he can state the number of promoted Civil Service writers now serving in the various Government Departments; the length of their service; and the approximate cost to the State of granting them their full unestablished service to count for pension purposes?
Mr. McKINNON WOODI regret that this information is not available, and it would serve no useful purpose to institute the extensive inquiries necessary to obtain it.
