HC Deb 06 December 1951 vol 494 cc291-2W
72. Mr. Jay

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what progress has been made in his discussions with the staff side of the Civil Service on the retiring age for civil servants; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

The discussions have been resumed but are not yet completed. Meanwhile, as the right hon. Gentleman will well appreciate, it is not possible for me to make any statement.
