HC Deb 22 July 1937 vol 326 cc2442-3W
Sir G. Jones

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the Government is likely to come to any decision in the near future as to the conditions of future recruitment for the out-station offices of the War Office?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

Yes Sir, I hope that an early decision will be reached.

Sir G. Jones

asked the Secretary of State for War when the Government is likely to come to a decision in regard to the establishment of temporary ex-service clerks in out-station offices of the War Office?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

I assume my hon. Friend refers to the proposals regarding the establishment of temporary ex-service clerks not covered by the Temporary Staff Committee's reports of 1932 and 1934. Discussion of these proposals is now proceeding on the departmental Whitley Council, and I hope that an early decision will be reached.
