§ Mr. STEPHEN COLLINSasked the Secretary to the Treasury what is the difference, if any, between the certificates issued by the Civil Service Commissioners to minor staff officers in the Statistical Office and those issued to minor staff officers in the Secretary's and Accountant and Comptroller General's Offices of the Customs and Excise Departments?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEThe assistant clerks, from whom the minor staff officerships in the Statistical Office are filled, require a fresh Civil Service certificate on promotion thereto, but the Port and Second Division clerks, from whom the minor staff officer-ships in the Secretaries' and Accountant and Comptroller-General's Departments are filled, do not require a fresh Civil Service Certificate on promotion thereto.
