§ 43. Mr. Dempseyasked the Minister for the Civil Service if he is aware of the growing number of Scots employed in the Civil Service in England who have been refused transfers to Civil Service employment in Scotland; and what steps he proposes to take to encourage such transfers, where practicable.
§ Mrs. HartI regret that I am unable to provide statistics on this subject. It is often possible to arrange a transfer to the area of a civil servant's choice, though the needs of the work are the governing consideration. Priority is given to those with personal and domestic difficulties.
