asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any appointments have been made under paragraph 51 of the Re-organisation Report; and, if so, how many men have been appointed and how many women?

A number of men and women have been appointed to posts on the Senior Executive scale of pay (£400–£15–£500 for men and £300– £15–£400 for women). They are employed on various duties appropriate to that scale, but no central record is kept of those employed on the duties described in paragraph 51 of the Report of the Re-organisation Committee, nor could it be compiled without a disproportionate amount of labour.
