§ Major HILLSasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he is aware that candidates for the Air Force are not tested for colour vision until after they have sat for the entrance examination, whereby candidates who are rejected for colour vision are put to considerable expense which, in the circumstances, is wasted; and whether it can be arranged 2011W for the colour vision tests to take place before the entrance examination?
§ Sir P. SASSOON.One main object of the present arrangements is to save candidates the expense of a double visit to London. If, however, a preliminary medical examination is desired by an intending candidate, this can be carried out by a medical board, at a fee of three guineas, at any time within two years of the competition for which he proposes to sit.
