Excerpt from The Whitley System in the Civil Service When this Conference came together in April, 1919, the Staff representatives made it very plain that with a Council so restricted beforehand as to its scope and power, the Staff Associations could have nothing to do they were prepared for joint discussion, but would not accept any dictated constitution. The Government, much pressed by industrial unrest and still desirous of pursuing the path of conciliation, was, in addition, some what alarmed at the possibility of disloyalty in the Civil Service. It found itself therefore constrained to agree, through its representatives, to the setting up of a Joint Committee consisting of thirty members divided equally between Official and Staff Side nominees to prepare and submit a detailed agreed scheme for a Civil Service Whitley System. This Committee met under the chairmanship of Sir Malcolm Ramsay with Mr. Stuart Bunning as Vice Chairman, and after much discussion, issued in May, 1919, a report which was adopted by the Cabinet and by the Staff Associations as the constitution of the National Whitley Council} The Committee was careful to make it clear that the setting up of the Whitley machinery would not interfere with the continuance of the Civil Service Arbitration Board. And this still exists and operates under certain circumstances when agreement cannot be reached on the National Council, besides being able, if necessary, to deal with matters brought directly before it by associa tions.
