§ Captain Pluggeasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether any decision has yet been reached as to what proportion of war-time temporary civil servants will be given preferential treatment in securing posts in the enlarged postwar per[...]anent Civil Service; and to what extent these jobs will be kept available for ex-Service personnel.
§ Mr. AsshetonThe Committee of the Civil Service National Whitley Council, which is considering the problem of postwar recruitment to the Service, has not yet reported, but I hope that it will do so in the very near future. Its recommendations will be published as soon as possible. In the meantime, I regret that I cannot add anything to previous statements on this subject.
