THE CIVIL SERVICE
CUTTING DOWN OF STAFFS
ABOUT 100 NOTICES ISSUED.
About 100 permanent members of the ' Civil Service have been notified that the time has come for them to give up their positions. Some of them are retiring in the usual way—their term of service has come to a statutory end—and are eligible for superannuation, but others who ha^e. failed to come up to the required standard of efficiency and are being discharged will not receive superannuation.
It was stated some time'ago by the Acting-Prime Minister (Sir Francis Bell) that the heads of Departments,, in the interests of efficiency, were desirous that the services of many men should be dispensed with, but against ■ this the Government had, at the time, set its face.. Cabinet's decision was made,*" on the ground that during the winter arid in a time when unemployment was likely the Government should set an example to private employers. The notices just issued are taken to indicate that the time for, special treatment is passing.
