HC Deb 01 July 1924 vol 175 cc1153-4W
Captain RAMAGE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many valuation assistants in the Inland Revenue who served in the Forces during the War were reduced on demobilisation to the status of temporary clerks?

Mr. SNOWDEN

The grade of valuation assistant was from the outset a temporary grade and intended to disappear with the completion of the special work for which temporary valuation staff was recruited. Temporary clerical posts were reserved for all ex-valuation assistants who joined the Forces with permission. The number of appointments thus offered was in the neighbourhood of 280.
