asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury how many Class I civil servants there are at the Treasury; and how many of them saw active service during the Great War?

There are 71 officers (including two women), in the Administrative Class borne on the establishment of the Treasury, of whom 11 are at present seconded for service in other Departments. 37 of these officers saw active service during the Great War.

Have any men lost seniority in the public service who would now be in that class if they had not been ex-service men?

I am not aware of any instance of the kind, but, if the hon. and gallant Member will send me particulars, I will make inquiries.
