HC Deb 24 October 1939 vol 352 c1244W
Mr. R. Gibson

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether it is the intention of his Department to offer employment, permanent or temporary, to any of the candidates who sat the first part of the customs and excise examinations which commenced on the 25th July, 1939, but the second part of which, due to begin in November, 1939, will not be completed?

Captain Crookshank

I am afraid that it is not practicable to offer employment to any of the candidates at the open competition for appointment as Customs and Excise Officer which is not being proceeded with. The age limits for this competition were 19 to 21.
