§ Captain BARINGasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether an officer of the prison service, who has applied to be examined with a view to appointment to the clerical staff and is informed that he is not qualified, has the right to know in what respects he is not so qualified?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe number of vacancies for clerical duties is very small, and the Prison Commissioners select the best of the candidates. In the case the hon. Member has in view the reason for not selecting the officer was that there were more suitable candidates on the list, and he is quite entitled to know this if he desires.
