HC Deb 13 March 1923 vol 161 cc1297-8W
Mr. HOPKINS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is intended to hold examinations for entrance to the Civil Service; and will he consider the suspension of these examinations until the competent ex-service men now on the temporary staff have been absorbed into the permanent staff?

Mr. BALDWIN

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given on the 7th instant to the hon. and gallant Member for Basingstoke (Sir A. Holbrook).
