HC Deb 01 October 1941 vol 374 c606W
Mr. Parker

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is now in a position to announce in detail what the method of recruitment for the Foreign Office is to be?

Mr. Eden

The method of recruitment is only a part of the reform of the Foreign Service of which I announced the broad outline to the House on nth June. My hon. Friend will realise that the detailed application of these reforms requires considerable elaboration, and I am not yet in a position to make a further statement. There can, of course, be no new entry until after the war.
