Rear-Admiral SUETER

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury how many non-service men rejected for the Army on medical grounds have been passed as medically fit for the Civil Service on passing the recent examination, and the number of ex-service men rejected as medically unfit on passing the clerical examination?

Mr. YOUNG

Of the candidates who passed the examination for appointment to the clerical class in 1920, 37 non-service men who were medically rejected for military service have been accepted as physically fit for the Civil Service; 16 ex-service men have been rejected on physical grounds for appointment to the Civil Service.
