§ Mr. Boydenasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what arrangements exist for civil servants who have been attending day release classes to complete their courses and take any necessary examinations after the age of 18 years.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterDepartments have discretion, on a selective basis, to extend day release facilities up to the end of the academic year in which the officer attains his eighteenth birthday in 87W cases where this will enable him to complete a planned study course in worthwhile subjects or take an examination within the academic year.
§ Mr. Boydenasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why attendance at day release classes is not compulsory for all juveniles under 18 years of age in all Departments.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterBecause both the circumstances of Departments and the needs of their young employees vary widely. Some impose compulsion; others rely on encouragement.
