ESTABLISHMENT OFFICERS (WOMEN).

HC Deb 13 February 1922 vol 150 cc650-1W

Lieut.-Colonel HURST

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has considered the advisability of appointing a woman as assistant to the chief establishment officer in Government Departments where large numbers of women are employed?

Mr. YOUNG

Yes, Sir. The whole question has been under consideration, and I anticipate that a number of such appointments will shortly be made.
