HC Deb 29 July 1931 vol 255 c2311W
Mr. TOWNEND

asked the Secretary to the Treasury if he will indicate what qualifications are necessary for an ex-service civil servant to be regarded as an overseas man for the purpose of selection for the P clerical class, with particular reference to the nature and period of the overseas service which must have been rendered?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

It has not been found necessary to amplify the description "overseas ex-service man," but if my hon. Friend has in mind any case which in his opinion has been wrongly classified, I will look into it.
