§ Mr. COVEasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether, in view of the suspension of open competitive examinations for the clerical class of the Civil Service, he can arrange that when examinations are resumed there should be an extension of the age limit to permit of persons now losing the opportunity of sitting being eligible for later examinations?
§ Major ELLIOTI regret that I am unable to extend the normal age limits of the open competitive examinations in question to meet the cases which the bon. Member has in mind.
