	This series contains personnel records of staff from the Ministry of Works. Records transferred include some personal files which have been retained in their entirety because of the subject's seniority of position within the the Ministry. The remaining records mainly contain the service schedules for individuals which gave:

	

		date of appointment
	

		marital status
	

		examinations passed
	

		positions held
	

		salaries
	

		date of retirement.


	There are strong similarities between this series and series 7227 but because it was unclear whether this series was also for district offices and because the two series have different access administrators it was decided to keep them separate.
