HC Deb 17 April 1947 vol 436 c41W
79. Mr. King

asked the Minister of Education what steps are taken when examining candidates for State scholarships to investigate qualities other than those which can be assessed by written examination.

Mr. Tomlinson

State Scholarships are awarded to boys and girls recommended by the eight approved Examining Bodies on the results of the Higher School Certificate Examination, and, so far as I am aware, no steps of the kind referred to by my hon. Friend are taken.
