HC Deb 15 July 1913 vol 55 c1057
59. Mr. MUNRO

asked the Secretary for Scotland if he can now state when the additions to the staff of the Board of Agriculture in Scotland will be made?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

As stated in my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for East Edinburgh last Tuesday, these appointments will be made as soon as practicable. Many applications for the outdoor posts have been received, and likely candidates are being interviewed by the Board. Some of the indoor posts have been filled by promotion and others will be filled by the Civil Service Commissioners in the ordinary way.

Mr. HOGGE

Will these posts for the new Sub-Commissioners and new Commissioners be advertised?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

No.
