Mr. G. THORNSasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether a Treasury Regulation provides that a married woman cannot be placed upon the permanent establishment of the Civil Service; and, if so, on what grounds this discrimination is made in the case of married women?
§ Mr. BALDWINIt is a condition of establishment that an officer should devote his whole tune to the public service and the responsibilities of married life for a woman are normally incompatible with the fulfilment of this condition.
