HC Deb 01 March 1967 vol 742 c92W
68. Sir T. Beamish

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether, under his Regulations, Territorial and Auxiliary Forces Associations may pay civilian employees no longer required on their strength the full amount of gratuities as well as redundancy payments.

Mr. Boyden

No.

69. Sir T. Beamish

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether the employees of Territorial and Auxiliary Forces Associations are employed as civil servants or Crown servants.

Mr. Boyden

They are not civil servants. The Associations have powers and duties assigned to them by regulation, and to that extent their staff are in the service of the Crown.
