§ Mr. COVEasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury when it is anticipated that he will be able to furnish a reply to the representations from the Civil Service Clerical Association about dismissals of temporary clerks in the Civil Service?
§ Major ELLIOTRepresentations on this matter were made to me a few weeks ago by the general secretary of the Civil 1709W Service Clerical Association, then hon. Member for Wolverhampton West. I have gone into the question, and find that it is not anticipated that there will be any serious difficulty in finding further employment, without an appreciable break, for fully efficient temporary clerks now on the books of the Joint Substitution Board. I am communicating with the general secretary in this sense.
