HC Deb 03 August 1914 vol 65 c1795W
Mr. DELANY

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether he is aware that the present Secretary of the Irish Board of Works will have reached the age of sixty-five by March next; whether efforts are being made to retain his services for a further period; and will the Treasury see that the Civil Service rule is not evaded in this case?

Mr. MONTAGU

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. I am not aware of any efforts being made to extend his service; the third question does not therefore arise.
