HC Deb 17 February 1948 vol 447 c203W
81. Mr. Langford-Holt

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he will assure the House that his undertaking of 12th August that all Civil Service staff associations have the undoubted right to make direct representations to all Government Departments on matters affecting the individual rights of its members as opposed to formal recognition still holds good.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

Yes, in the sense that anybody can send a letter to any Government Department about anything he chooses.
