§ 35. Mr. SNOWDENasked the Secretary to the Treasury how many of the successful candidates at the competitions for intermediate clerkships held since the institution of the scheme in 1908 have had previous service as second division clerks, the total number of intermediate clerks now serving, and how many of the total number have had previous service as second division clerks?
§ Mr. MONTAGUThe answer to the first part of the question is 119, including three officers who had served in posts outside the second division, but filled from the same competition. I regret that there are no figures available to enable me to answer the other two parts of the question.
