All the appointments set out above have been made to posts temporarily added since the 18th February, 1948, to the Schedule to the Civil Service Regulation Act, 1924. It is intended, however, to appoint Mr. Lawler to the post of Director of the Government Information Bureau pursuant to Section 6 (2) of the Civil Service Regulation Act, 1924, as amended by Section 3 of the Civil Service Regulation (Amendment) Act, 1926, subject to the issue in his favour of a certificate of qualification by the Civil Service Commissioners.

I am assuming that the Deputy does not require particulars of (1) persons appointed to posts permanently scheduled under the Civil Service Regulation Act, 1924, (2) persons appointed to posts temporarily added to the Schedule to that Act prior to 18th February, 1948 (including posts which were first added to the Schedule before that date and the period of scheduling of which has since been extended), (3) reinstated widows, (4) reinstated officers who had resigned from the Civil Service to enter ecclesiastical seminaries or religious orders or (5) persons first appointed to the Civil Service before 18th February, 1948, and promoted or transferred since that date.
