HC Deb 23 July 1929 vol 230 cc1061-2
Lieut.-Colonel Sir FREDERICK HALL

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the number of candidates it is proposed to assign to the established clerical classes in the Civil Service from the recent competitive examination?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENGE

100 candidates were declared successful in the first instance, and I am authorising an extension of the successful list to the 200th candidate.

Sir F. HALL

Will the hon. Gentleman bear in mind the claims of ex-service men who have been able to carry out these duties in a very satisfactory manner?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

They will be borne in mind.
