"Thomas Mark (11 July 1887 - 9 June 1941) was the fourth Public Service Commissioner in New Zealand. He was a conservative in favour of a non-political public service. In 1936 the Labour government would have preferred John H. Boyes to Thomas Mark, who was the logical appointment as Public Service Commissioner. So Boyes and Mark were appointed as co-equal Joint Commissioners, and there was an awkward two years before Boyes was appointed to establish the new Social Security Department."@en .
