asked the Secretary to the Treasury how many civil servants who have been employed in an unestablished quasi-permanent capacity since 1919 in a post recognised as established, have on subsequent establishment been allowed to count their unestablished service for superannuation as service in the capacity of a civil servant as defined by Section 12 of the Superannuation Act, 1887.

I regret that this information is not available and could only be obtained by a disproportionate expenditure of time and labour.
