HC Deb 31 October 1944 vol 404 c636
63. Mr. W. J. Brown

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he is aware that men now serving with the Forces, who were successful candidates at the first part of the examinations held in 1939 for appointments as officers of customs and excise and inspectors of taxes, have been unable to ascertain whether the second part of the examinations will be held after the war; and, since they are entitled to a definite answer in order to determine their course of action in preparation for returning to civilian life, whether he can now state what the Civil Service Commissioners' intentions are.

Mr. Peake

I am aware of the position. The Civil Service Commissioners hope to make an announcement about these particular men in the near future.
