Mr. Day
asked the Minister of Labour the number of women who have been promoted to the Departmental clerical classes of the Ministry for the 12 months ended to the last convenient date?
Mr. E. Brown
Forty women were promoted to the Departmental clerical class of the Ministry during the 12 months ended 30th November, 1938.
Mr. Day
Is this by competitive examination?
Mr. Brown
It is the usual way.
Mr. Day
Were any men displaced?
Mr. Brown
That is an entirely different question. If the hon. Member wants to know how many men were promoted in the same period I will tell him—110.
