HC Deb 01 November 1949 vol 469 cc25-6W
74. Lieut.-Commander Hutchison

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he is aware that ex-Service men and women, including persons disabled as a result of war service, are now being discharged from temporary posts in the Civil Service on grounds of redundancy, whilst other temporary employees without service in the Forces are being retained; and if he will arrange for an alteration to the rules governing discharge on account of redundancy contained in Treasury Circular No. 14/45.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

The discharge of redundant temporary staff is governed by National Whitley Council agreements under which special provision is made for ex-Service and severely disabled men and women. I do not think these agreements require revision.
