HC Deb 16 May 1927 vol 206 cc926-7W
Major GLYN

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty what are the designations of all the grades and appointments of established Civil Servants under the administration of the Admiralty; what are the numbers of persons, male and female, respectively, employed in each grade and appointment; what are the designations of those persons who are on the temporary list though qualifying for establishment, and what are the numbers of such persons in such categories; how many persons are there doing similar work to the above grades but who are not established, that is, qualified for pension, or temporary, that is, qualifying for establishment position; what are the rates of pay for such persons, with bonus shown as a separate item; and how do these compare with all the above grades and appointments?

Lieut.-Colonel HEADLAM

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the published Navy List and to the Navy Estimates for the answer to the first two parts of his question.

There are no persons on the temporary list in Admiralty employment who are qualified for establishment. 290 "P" Class men are borne permanently on the unestablished list and are eligible to be considered for vacancies as clerical officer as, and when, they arise. Besides these, temporary staff is employed as necessary in certain Departments at rates of pay which are either common to all Government Departments or are indicated generally in the Navy Estimates. As this staff is employed on the duties of the particular Department in which they are employed, e.g., manipulative, clerical, technical or other duties, it would not be possible, without much labour, to make the detailed comparison of duties suggested in the question.
