HC Deb 26 February 1924 vol 170 cc301-2W
Captain BULLOCK

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what is the approved custom in Government offices for the dismissal of temporary clerks when there is need of reduction through diminution of duties; and what is the exact preference given to length of service in the Department, service in His Majesty's Forces, and disablement as a result of the War?

Mr. GRAHAM

I beg to refer to the answer which I gave to the hon. Member for Barrow-in-Furness (Mr. D. Somerville) on the 21st February.
