INSURANCE INSPECTORS. (Hansard, 22 October 1912)

§ Sir WALTER MENZIES
asked the Secretary to the Treasury how many Excise officers applied for posts as health insurance inspectors in Scotland; how many were recommended as suitable by the head of the Customs and Excise Department; how many of the latter were given an interview and sat an examination; and were any of these examinations held after the posts were all filled?

§ Mr. MASTERMAN
Twenty-five officers of the Customs and Excise applied for posts on the outdoor staff of the Scottish Commission, seven of whom were recommended by their superior officers. Three of the latter were interviewed, and two were nominated to sit at the competitive examination. Only one of these actually took the examination, and he obtained an appointment. The answer to the last part of the question is in the negative.

§ Sir W. MENZIES
asked how many health insurance inspectors were appointed for Scotland, how many applicants were there, and what positions had the successful applicants held previous to their appointment?

§ Mr. MASTERMAN
Thirty-one persons have so far been appointed to the outdoor staff of the Scottish Commission. I am circulating particulars of their positions before their employment by the Commission. In all 2,933 applications were received.
