§ 59. Mr. Lipsonasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give an assurance that men from the Forces, including those who are over 30 years of age, will be eligible for permanent appointments on the technical and professional staffs required by the Treasury.
§ Mr. DaltonYes, Sir, for permanent appointments in the professional and technical branches throughout the Civil Service. The upper age limit will be 30 for scientists and will range between 35 and 45 in other cases, varying according to the qualifications and experience required.
§ Mr. LipsonDoes that answer mean that a man who has served in the Forces will be in no way handicapped in respect of his eligibility for these appointments?
§ Mr. DaltonCertainly not, ages being equal.
