§ Mr. LANSBURYasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the number of redundant executive officers at present employed in the Treasury departments or under notice of dismissal; and the number of promotions which have been made since the signing of the Armistice?
Mr. GRAHAMThe number of permanent officers of Treasury classes paid on the scale of the executive class, but not absorbed into substantive executive or equivalent posts, has not been exactly1416W ascertained, but is approximately 900. These officers fill clerical class posts, and, with the exception of any who may be due to retire under the age rules, I am not aware that any are under notice. Figures are not available in regard to the latter part of the question and could not be obtained without unjustifiable labour.
