HC Deb 18 February 1926 vol 191 cc2161-2W
Mr. J. BECKETT

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he will undertake that in future all vacancies occurring in the junior executive grade shall be filled by redundant ex-second division clerks who are at present performing clerical duties although in receipt of the executive scale of pay?

Mr. McNEILL

Under present arrangements vacancies in the junior ex-executive grade are filled by the absorption of redundant ex-second division clerks wherever possible, either from within the Department or by transfer from other Departments, but in the interests of the public service it has been and may again be necessary to fill some vacancies in this grade from other sources.
