§ Mr. Malcolm MacPhersonasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many interviewers for Civil Service appointments have their ordinary places of 93W residence an Scotland; and what percentage this is of the total.
§ Mr. PowellNine members of the Civil Service Commissioners' panel of regular interviewers reside in Scotland. This is about 7 per cent. of the total and corresponds roughly with the percentage of boards held in Scotland. These interviewers represent the Commissioners as required on boards for Scottish appointments; but most of the members of these boards are drawn from the Scottish Departments concerned and from academic or professional bodies in Scotland.
§ Mr. Malcolm MacPhersonasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the average age of interviewers for Civil Service appointments.
§ Mr. PowellThe average age of the panel of regular interviewers is sixty-three. The average age of the much larger number who sit on interview boards as occasion requires is much lower, but cannot be precisely stated.
