§ Mr. OLIVERasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what is the proportion of unestablished messengers, porters, warders, attendants, and record keepers employed in the Whitehall offices; and what is the number of established men in the same grades?
§ Mr. RONALD McNEILLAssuming that the hon. Member did not intend to limit his inquiry to the small number of offices actually situated in Whitehall, according to the provision made in Estimates for the current financial year, the number of unestablished messengers, porters, warders, attendants, record keepers, etc., employed in headquarter offices in London (excluding the Post Office) is approximately 2,025. The corresponding number of established men on the above basis is slightly over 300, but this figure does not include posts of office keepers, deputy office keepers, principal record keepers, etc., on an established basis.
