HC Deb 30 July 1974 vol 878 c183W
Mrs. Wise

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether her Department discriminates against women when appointing special investigators.

Mrs. Castle

No. All special investigators are executive officers who volunteer for the work, and the only consideration in making an appointment is the volunteer's suitability for such work. I should welcome more women volunteers for this work among the Department's staff.
