HC Deb 25 May 1944 vol 400 c947W
Mr. R. Morgan

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury how many nonindustrial staff it is necessary for a Department to have in its employment before the principal establishment post is graded at the assistant secretary level.

Mr. Assheton

I regret that I cannot answer the hon. Member's Question, because size of staff is not necessarily the criterion which determines the grading of the chief establishment post in a Department.
