§ Sir J. Henderson-Stewartasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the undertaking given to the House in 1920 that ex-Service men of the first war shall be given preferential treatment and retained as civil servants in the case of redundancy is still being adhered to.
§ Sir E. BoyleWhere there is redundancy among temporary non-industrial civil servants preference in retention continues to be given to ex-Service men of the 1914–18 war: there is in practice, however, no distinction in case of retirement by reason of age.
