To a question, the Parliamentary Secretary said the allotments were being made to the federal government servants on maturity of their turn on general waiting list (GWL).

He said the government has abolished out of turn allotment and even the Prime Minister and the Federal Minister have also withdrawn their discretionary quota in this regard.

However, Mehdi said only one allotment on out of turn basis had been made to Ms. Kosar Parveen, Elementary School Teacher, Islamabad in 2014 keeping in view of her disability.
