§ 68. Sir WILLIAM DAVISONasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury under what circumstances and for what reason has an alteration recently been made in the old regulation for admission to the British Civil Service under which it was necessary for candidates to be natural-born British subjects and the children of fathers who were also natural-born British subjects?
§ Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCEThe purpose of the alteration is to admit to the Civil Service a natural-born British subject, the child of a person who is or was at the time of death a British subject, thus bringing the Civil Service Regulation into line with the rules for admission to the commissioned ranks of the Defence forces.
