Departmental clerical class, respectively?

Mr. GUINNESS

The numbers of Lytton male entrants appointed on the result of Lytton examinations to the following classes are shown below:

Clerical class (general) 4,878
Admiralty Departmental clerical class 333
Air Ministry Departmental clerical class 167
Ministry of Labour Departmental clerical class 687

The figure for the Admiralty includes a number of quasi-permanent writers to whom the term Lytton entrant does not strictly apply. In addition to the above figures 271 entrants have been appointed to the Customs and Excise Departmental clerical class and 67 from the War Office ex-soldier clerks' examination.
