§ MR. KINNAIRDasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether it might not be possible periodically to hold Civil Service Examinations in different parts of the Country; say Edinburgh, Dublin, and Liverpool, so as to save candidates in these cities and neighbourhoods the trouble and expense of coming to London?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER, in reply, said, all ordinary competitive examinations for the Civil Service were held in Edinburgh, Dublin, and Liverpool, as well as in other large towns. They were not held periodically, but as vacancies occurred. In examinations for the higher classes of officers it was found necessary to bring the candidates to London.
