HC Deb 20 March 1945 vol 409 c647W
Dr. Morģan

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that during the last six years medical applicants for British Colonial appointments have been interviewed by the appointments private secretary alone; and whether, as this official has no means of judging medical qualifications, this method of selection or recommendation will now be abandoned; and what administrative changes are contemplated in this connection.

Colonel Stanley

At all formal interviews with applicants for appointments in the Colonial Medical Service it is the practice for one or more members of my Medical Advisory Staff to be present. I do not see any reason for changing this procedure.
