HC Deb 25 March 1948 vol 448 cc350-1W
Sir W. Smithers

asked the Minister of Education whether, in view of the criticisms of our educational system made by Sir Percival Waterfield, first Civil Service Commissioner, as a result of interviewing 3,000 men and women graduates for the Civil Service, he will review the method of selecting candidates for university education.

Mr. Tomlinson

The selection of candidates for a university education is a matter for the university authorities.
