§ Mr. Merlyn Reesasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will issue a circular to local authorities advising them to alter the practice of distinguishing between their employees with the terms of officer and servant, which indicated out-dated labour relationships.
§ Mr. MacCollMy right hon. Friend does not think that a circular is called for. So far as he knows local authorities only use terms distinguishing between officers and servants for superannuation purposes. The distinction here is statutory and cannot be avoided.
