§ Major HORE-BELISHAasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty, with reference to the examination in His Majesty's dockyard for temporary clerks, whether he is aware that sonic of the candidates are disabled ex-service men; and, seeing that they could not possibly pass a medical examination, can he make arrangements to waive the medical examination in their case when they have been found educationally fit?
§ Mr. AMMONThe medical examination of disabled ex-service men who are successful in passing the educational part of the examination will be governed by the provisions of Order in Council of 22nd March, 1918, which provides for the modification of the ordinary standard of physical qualifications in the case of candidates for appointment to the Civil Service whose health has been impaired by reason of service in His Majesty's Forces during the Great War. It is not considered necessary or desirable to waive the medical examination altogether.
