HC Deb 26 July 1949 vol 467 c105W
60. Mr. Raikes

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if he is aware that competent ex-Service temporary clerks at present employed in Government Departments are being discharged to make room for incoming female clerical assistants; and if he will give an undertaking that this policy will be reviewed.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

The recruitment of established clerical assistants has inevitably involved the displacement of some temporary clerks but the current recruitment scheme is being wound up and future recruitment policy is already being considered.
