§ Sir H. NIELDasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury why temporary female clerical staffs are being newly appointed to departments of the Civil Service, in view of the Government's policy of preference for ex-service men in respect of such employment in the Civil Service?
Mr. SAMUELI am not aware that temporary female clerical staffs are being newly appointed to departments of the Civil Service, but if my hon. and learned Friend will furnish details of any cases which he has in mind, I will cause inquiry to be made.
