§ Sir L. Lyleasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury under what conditions temporary civil servants employed during this war will be eligible for gratuities when their services are no longer required; and what will be the amounts of the gratuities involved.
§ Mr. PeakeNo special provision is proposed in relation to war service. The payment of gratuities to temporary civil servants is governed by the ordinary provisions of the Superannuation Acts which require, among other things, a minimum period of seven years' service.
