§ Sir HENRY JACKSONasked the Minister of Health whether any efforts were made by his Department to utilise the services of trained ex-temporary women civil servants, some of whom had actual experience on pensions administration, to cope with the extra work involved in connection with the administration of the new pensions scheme.
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI regret that I have not been able to utilise the services of any ex-temporary women clerks. Having regard to the large number of temporary ex-service men clerks whose services in other Departments have become redundant, I have thought it right to recruit the additional temporary staff required for pensions work from this source.
