§ Mr. OMANasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether a notice was issued, under the Order in Council of 18th December, 1918, inviting candidates lately engaged in military service, or lately interned in Germany as civilian prisoners, to compete for vacancies in the Foreign Office or diplomatic service for the first three years after the War under a certain reconstruction scheme; whether any such competition will be held in 1921; and, if not, what means have been taken to warn those who under faith of this notice of 18th December, 1918, set themselves to study for the promised competition?
§ Sir H. GREENWOODNotices were issued inviting candidates lately engaged in military service or lately interned as civilian prisoners in Germany, to compete for vacancies in the Foreign Office and Diplomatic Service during the first three years after the War, under the reconstruction scheme. It is proposed that this scheme shall remain in force until the last examination in 1921, which will, it is expected, be held in the autumn of that year.
