§ Sir S. HOAREI beg to move, in page line 16, at the end, to insert:
(2) It shall also be the duty of the Federal Public Service Commission, if re quested by any two or more Provinces so to do, to assist those Provinces in framing and operating schemes of joint recruitment for their forest services and any other ser vices for which candidates possessing special qualifications are required.?This Amendment is moved in response to various representations that were made to me in the Committee stage with reference to the Forest Service. It was pointed out to me with great force that there were substantial advantages in having a central recruitment for a service like the Forest Service. The object of the Amendment is to make it easier and possible for the Federal Public Service Commission to undertake central recruitment for the Provinces which are prepared to accept it and to make it clear in the body of the Bill that the House generally gives its blessing to such central recruitment.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Sir S. HOAREI beg to move, in page 150, line 23, at the end, to insert:
?or, in the case of the subordinate ranks of the various police forces in India, as respects any of the matters mentioned in paragraph (a), (b), and (c) Sub-section (2) of this section.?This Amendment is moved in response to an undertaking given on the Committee stage. The effect will be to do what was always intended by means of the powers in Sub-section (2) of the Clause, namely, to exclude from the purview of the Public Service Commission the recruitment, promotion and discipline in the subordinate ranks of the police. We never intended that they should come within the purview of the Commission. It was implicit in the Bill before, and in the Amendment we propose to make it explicit.
§ Amendment agreed to.
