HC Deb 11 March 1937 vol 321 c1365W
Major Hills

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he is aware that, notwithstanding the Treasury agreement of March, 1934, men only are being asked to apply for transfer from other Government Departments to posts in the higher clerical officer grade of the Air Ministry; and for what reason such transfers have not also been offered to women?

Sir P. Sassoon

In the present instance it was not considered that the introduction of further women Higher Clerical Officers was desirable, having regard to the claims of the women already serving in the Department.
