§ MR. VINCENT KENNEDY (Cavan, W.)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether candidates seeking to become county surveyors have to undergo an examination; does this examination apply to existing county surveyors who may be candidates; and is the examination conducted by the Civil Service Commissioners.
§ MR. JOHN BURNSI can only answer the Question as regards England and Wales. So far as they are concerned, the appointment of a county surveyor rests with the county council. Candidates are not required by law to undergo an examination, and the Civil Service Commissioners do not conduct any examination of such candidates.
