§ Major Procterasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, before he again publicly advertises vacancies for assistant surveyors of lands and similar posts, he will consider extending the qualifications to include successful (final) examinees of the Incorporated Society of Auctioneers and Landed Property Agents?
Mr. CooperThe Civil Service Commission have under consideration the question of admitting the final examination of the Society mentioned by my hon. Friend as a qualification for candidates for posts similar to those of surveyors of land throughout the civil service generally. I must await the outcome of this consideration of the general question before arriving at any decision with regard to appointments in the Admiralty.
