§ 64. Sir G. Mitchesonasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether his attention has been drawn to the continued refusal of Government Departments to use the services of many competent persons solely because their age exceeds a prescribed limit; and will he authorise the abolition of this limit?
§ Captain CrookshankI have no evidence that Government Departments are refusing, on the grounds of age, to use the services of competent persons. The second part of the Question does not, therefore, arise.
