HC Deb 17 February 1920 vol 125 c746W
Major HILLS

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury when the Order in Council regulating the admission of women to the Civil Service under the Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act, 1919, will be laid upon the Table?

Mr. BALDWIN

As I informed the hon. Member for Southwark, North, on the 21st November, inquiry into the future organisation of the Civil Service has been referred to a Committee of the National Whitley Council. The Committee's Report, covering, among other subjects, the recruitment of women to the Civil Service, is expected to issue shortly, and pending this Report it is not possible to announce a decision.
