HC Deb 17 June 1937 vol 325 c575W
Mr. H. G. Williams

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department how many persons are employed in the grade of chief clerk of commercial diplomatic offices; and how many of these are established officers?

Mr. R. S. Hudson

There are no established chief clerks but there are 15 un-established officers who have this title. There are, however, eight established assistants to commercial diplomatic officers. Their duties are practically the same as those of chief clerks.
