§ Mr. R. Morganasked the Minister of Supply whether he is aware that alarm exists amongst civil servants in the Ministry at the dismissal of officers on unspecified grounds without charges against them being made; whether he can assure the House that this will not be repeated, and that Army officers loaned to the service of his Department will enjoy the same rights as civil servants in the matter of adverse reports, of disciplinary action?
§ Mr. BurginThe answer to the first part of the Question is in the negative. As to the second part, I would remind my hon. Friend that the same conditions are not applicable to both civil servants and Army officers.
