Civil Service Appointments (Age Limit).

HC Deb 05 August 1913 vol 56 c1276

38. Mr. F. HALL

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether candidates for Civil Service appointments as a rule are required to be within certain age limits; and if apart from any disciplinary punishment which may be inflicted upon candidates making wrong statements as to their age, they render themselves liable to legal penalties?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative, and, with regard to the second part, the answer depends upon the circumstances of each case.

Mr. F. HALL

If there is any discrepancy in the ages at all is any notice taken by the Government?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I could not answer that off-hand.
