HC Deb 05 November 1946 vol 428 cc207-8W
65. Mr. J. Morrison

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what is the present total of the administrative grade in the Civil Service; how many of these are temporary appointments; and how many of these temporary appointments depend for their maintenance on a non-reduction in Departmental staff.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

Three thousand, nine hundred and sixty-two, of which 1,642 are temporary. I cannot answer the last part of the Question.

66. Mr. J. Morrison

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if he will issue instructions that holders of acting rank in the administrative grade of the Civil Service should be reverted to their substantive rank so that economies in the total personnel of the Civil Service can be secured.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

No, Sir.
