HC Deb 26 July 1939 vol 230 c1608W
Mr. COWAN

asked the Prime Minister whether the terms of reference to the proposed Royal Commission on the Civil Service will be wide enough to include consideration of the whole question of recruitment, including such points as the age limitations so far as the university graduate is concerned?

The PRIME MINISTER

The terms of reference of the Royal Commission have not yet been finally determined, but it may safely be assumed that the general question of recruitment will be within the scope of the inquiry.
