HC Deb 23 May 1940 vol 361 c320W
Mr. Etherton

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the result of his further consideration of the practicability of the resumption of examinations for the Civil Service?

Captain Crookshank

I had hoped now to be in a position to make a statement about this matter, but in view of the war situation I regret that I am unable to make any announcement.
