§ MR. MAURICE HEALY (Cork)I beg to ask the Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education whether the Civil Service examination announced to be held on 13th December last, to fill a vacancy in the position of assistant in the South Kensington Museum (Art Branch) was actually held, and, if so, who the 929 successful candidates were and why the usual announcement of the result was not published in the Gazette; and in case such examination was not held, will he explain whether, and how, the vacancy in question was filled up.
§ SIR JOHN GORSTI understand that the examination announced for the 13th December was held by the Civil Service Commissioners, and that on the result of it the vacancy in the position of assistant in the South Kensington Museum was filled. I have no information as to who the other candidates were, or why the result was not published in the Gazette.
