§ Sir H. HARRISasked the Postmaster-General whether a special Committee of the Post Office Whitley Council recommended that a special limited competition should be held for certain classes of temporary workers, male and female; whether there has been great delay in giving effect to that recommendation; and when it is intended to hold the: necessary examination?
§ Mr. PEASEThe scheme for the holding of these competitions is now settled, the preliminary arrangements are complete, and the Civil Service Commissioners have been asked to fix suitable dates for the examinations as soon as possible. When the exact dates have been fixed, they will be announced to the staff, together with particulars of the proposed syllabuses.
