§ Sir Richard Glynasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many officers of his Department holding the qualification of the final examination of the Rating and Valuation Association and who would now be engaged on the working of rating valuation for his Department had the service remained with the local authorities, have been remustered into the clerical grades against their will; and whether, in view of the shortage of valuers, he will instruct the Valuation Office to employ these officers on rating valuation work once again, especially as many rating valuers have no qualifications.
§ Mr. MacDermotFive. These officers were transferred from local authorities to the Valuation Office to assist rating valuers in their professional duties and on absorption into the clerical grades have continued to give surveying assistance.
