HC Deb 16 November 1920 vol 134 cc1713-4W
Lieut.-Colonel POWNALL

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he will consider the suggestion that all ex-service men at present serving as temporary Civil servants and who have been successful at one of the reconstruction examinations be absorbed into the permanent clerical class, or, failing that, that all ex-service men appointed to the Civil Service in a temporary capacity as clerks as a result of the recent Substitution Board should be allowed to sit at the coming examination?

Mr. BALDWIN

The question of the method of appointment of ex-service men temporarily employed in Government Departments to permanent posts in the Civil Service is at present being considered by Lord Lytton's Committee.
