§ Sir A. STEEL-MAITLANDasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what was the total number of first-class women clerks and second-class women clerks respectively assimilated to the lower executive grade; and what is the total number of executive posts available in the revised regrading schemes to which the women clerks can be transferred, in accordance with paragraph 67 of the Reorganisation Report?
Mr. YOUNGFirst-and second-class women clerks were, subject to fitness, assimilated to the clerical class; I am not aware that any have been assimilated to the lower executive grade. It is not possible at this stage to say how many women clerks will be transferred to the executive class on reorganisation.
