asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, under the special schemes for the Services, married women or widows will be eligible for recruitment to the Civil Service.

The normal rule is that women candidates for established posts in the Civil Service must be unmarried or widows. No change is proposed for the reconstruction competitions.

Mrs. Cazalet Keir

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in the new proposals for recruitment to the Civil Service, it has been decided to abolish the marriage bar.
