HC Deb 22 March 1926 vol 193 c894W
Mr. S. SAMUEL

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if he intends to arrange, before the final staffing arrangements of Government Departments are completed, to extend to the temporary typing staff facilities for entry into the permanent Civil Service, similar to those already granted to the temporary shorthand-typing staff, i.e., by means of a limited competitive examination open to all temporary typists up to the age of 40 years, all who pass or qualify to be appointed to the permanent service?

Mr. McNEILL

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave on the 15th March to the hon. Member for Stratford (Mr. Groves).
