HC Deb 01 May 1923 vol 163 c1207W
Mr. GRUNDY

asked the Postmaster-General what proportion of the ex-service temporary civil servants employed in his Department on clerical duties are home service and overseas, respectively; and how many are men who did not sit for the recent special establishment examinations?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

I am obtaining the information which the hon. Member desires and will communicate it to him as soon as it is available.

Mr. F. HALL

asked the Postmaster-General what was the highest figure reached in his Department for the employment of women prior to 1920 in the following civilian grades: temporary typists and shorthand typists, temporary clerks below the rank of junior administrative assistant, and temporary officers of junior administrative rank or over?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

The records of temporary staff employed in the Post Office are not such as to enable me to reply to the hon. Member's question.
