§ 77. Mr. SNELLasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that, in connection with the assessing of departmental marks for Southborough examination candidates, a, local conference of representatives of War Office out-stations offices in Woolwich Arsenal and Dockyard was held, and that at this conference an agreement was reached that clerical employés in the Department affected should be assessed at only a percentage of the maximum number of marks fixed by the Civil Service Commissioners under this heading; and what steps he proposes to take to remove the handicap?
