Mr. Kelly

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, what was the number of women employed in the lower grade of the departmental clerical class of the Customs and Excise Department as at 1st April 1936 and how many of those employed on this date fell within each of the following age groups: under 21 years of age; 21 to 25 years; 26 to 30 years; 31 to 35 years; 36 to 40 years; 41 to 45 years; 46 to 50 years; and over 50 years?

Sir K. Wood

The number of houses included in Orders relating to slum clearance schemes on which my decision was given during 1936 was 47,784 and of these 1,554 were excluded by me from the operation of the Orders. In addition 395 houses alleged to be unfit for human habitation were adjudged by me not to be so unfit, and were included in the Orders as properties to be purchased at full market value.
