HC Deb 01 August 1923 vol 167 cc1521-2W
Mr. GERALD HURST

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether any established woman has, since the passing of the Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act, been retained in the Civil Service after marriage, under Proviso 3 of Part II of the Regulations made under the Order in Council of 22nd July, 1920?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

The answer is in the negative.

Mr. HAYDAY

asked the Prime Minister whether he will make a statement before the House rises as to the position of those women who were covered by the recent discussions on the starting pay of ex-temporary civil servants on establishment, but who were not covered by the terms of reference of the Southborough Committee?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

I would refer to the answer given to the hon. Member for Lambeth North (Mr. Briant) on the 26th July.
