§ Major ARCHER-SHEEasked the President of the Board of Trade why the promotion of second division clerks to minor staff clerkships in the office of the Registrar General of shipping and seamen has been discontinued, seeing that the second division clerks who were created minor staff clerks have since been further pro-
988Wmoted to staff clerkships, and other second division clerks are now performing precisely the same duties for which minor staff clerkships were created in 1908?
Mr. BUXTONThe minor staff clerkships created in 1908 were personal to the clerks upon whom they were conferred and were created by the Treasury on condition that they should lapse when the holders became part of the normal establishment of nine staff clerks.
