§ 12. Mr. CHARLES DUNCANasked the Secretary to the Treasury the number of established Civil servants to whom during the year ending 31st March, 1913, fresh certificates of qualifications were issued on promotion; the grade or class of such officers and the grade or class to which they were promoted; the number of candidates for promotion required to pass an examination in scholastic subjects before the issue of such certificates; and the grade or class of such candidates?
§ Mr. MASTERMANThe answer to the first part of the question is 287, and to the third part fifty-three. The promotions affected a large number of grades, and perhaps the hon. Member will not think it necessary for a list of the various posts to which they were made to be circulated. I will circulate particulars of grades from which promotions were made, showing whether with or without scholastic examination. [See Written Answers this date.]
