§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware of the dissatisfaction, examples of which have been furnished to him, amongst university graduates with regard to Civil Service Reconstruction Examinations, in a recent example of which only 16 per cent. of the candidates who had incurred considerable expenses by their application were selected; and if he will institute more equitable arrangements in future examinations.
§ Mr. DaltonIn this particular examination the proportion of suitable candidates was abnormally low. I should have been glad indeed if it had been higher. The only expense necessarily incurred by candidates was the examination fee of £3, plus travelling expenses in attending for examination.
