§ Lieut.-Colonel HORLICKasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury how many established positions in the Civil Service with a salary, plus bonus, of over £l,000 a year have or are to be terminated in the current financial year, and in which Departments, respectively?
2266W
§ Mr. McNEILLI assume that my hon. and gallant Friend refers to posts carrying a salary of £1,000 a year or over (plus bonus) which have been or are to be abolished. The number of these posts abolished since the 1st April last is two, and one further post will cease this month. Two of these posts were in the Ministry of Labour and one in the Inland Revenue Department. I cannot at present say what further reduction of such posts may be possible before the end of the financial year.
