§ Mr. COVEasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether the Civil Service Commission, in interpreting Clause 7 of the Order in Council of 10th January, 1910, excludes from the scope of this Clause posts which can be provided for by members of the ordinary parallel classes of the Civil Service; and whether it is a requirement of any exemption under Clause 7 that the 22W qualifications in respect of knowledge and ability deemed requisite for any situation for which exemption from examination is proposed to be given must be wholly or in part professional or otherwise peculiar?
§ Major ELLIOTClause 7 of the Order in Council of 10th January, 1910, was repealed by Article 14 of the General Regulations under the Order in Council of 22nd July, 1920, of which I am sending the hon. Member a copy. The occasions and conditions of exemptions from prescribed Civil Service examinations are laid down in the several Sections of Article 10 of these General Regulations. Section (c) of the Article is applicable to posts which can be provided for by members of the Civil Service, and Section (a) to posts for which professional or otherwise peculiar qualifications are requisite.
