HC Deb 26 March 1976 vol 908 c301W
Mr. Maxwell-Hyslop

asked the Minister for the Civil Service what are the names of the civil servants who fall in the "politically free" category; and what different functions they have from civil servants who do not fall into that category.

Mr. Charles R. Morris

The politically free category of civil servants comprises all industrial staff, non-office grades such as messengers, paper keepers, cleaners and museum warders, and other grades of comparable status.
