§ Major LLOYD-GREAMEasked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been drawn to the position of clerks to district auditors; whether these clerks are exclusively employed on Government work, are paid out of Government funds at rates fixed by the Treasury, and yet have no rights as established civil servants; and whether he can arrange for these clerks to be placed on the established list?
§ Major BIRCHALLasked the Minister of Health whether he can arrange for district audit clerks to be established as civil servants with a right to superannuation in accordance with the Report of the Royal Commission on the Civil Service 1914?
