§ Mr. W. R. Duckworthasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether women civil servants who now marry, owing to the cancellation of the marriage bar and are allowed to stay on, will be permitted to regard their employment as permanent, even after the end of the war?
§ Captain CrookshankNo change has been made in the regulations of 12th June, 1934, with regard to the employment of married women in His Majesty's Civil Establishments. I am sending my hon. Friend a copy of those regulations. Special arrangements have, however, been made for the retention, limited to the war period only, of established women civil servants who desire to remain in Government employment after marriage. Women whose services are retained in such circumstances are required formally to resign from the service before marriage and are re-employed in a purely temporary capacity.
