HC Deb 29 April 1975 vol 891 c103W
Mr. Hordern

asked the Minister for the Civil Service whether temporary civil servants, who are also prospective parliamentary candidates will be allowed to campaign during the period before the referendum.

Mr. Charles R. Morris

The only civil servants, whether temporary or permanent, who are ptrmitted to be prospective parliamentary candidates without first resigning are those in the politically free group. This group consists mainly of industrial grades, and non-industrial grades below clerical assistant level. They will be free to campaign during the referendum.
