HC Deb 22 June 1927 vol 207 cc1870-2W
Mr. BENNETT

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can now give further details as to the action taken by the Government in carrying out its promise to effect a marked contraction in the number of new entrants into the Civil Service for the remaining years of this Parliament?

Mr. McNEILL

Every Government Department is fully aware of the decision referred to in the hon. Member's Question, and a conference of permanent heads of Departments has been held with the express object of devising ways and means of giving effect to it. The hon. Member may be sure that no opportunity will be lost of securing a reduction in the number of new entrants.
