§ Sir W. Robson-Brownasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what improvements are contemplated in the training of recruits to the administrative class of the Civil Service.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterIt has been decided that a new course of centrally organised training for assistant principals in the Home Civil Service will be introduced this autumn. This will take place at a centre to be called "The Centre for Administrative Studies" in London at No. 6, Cambridge Gate, Regents Park, and will be organised by the Treasury. Assistant principals will take the course in the year after completion of their probation. The curriculum will include economics and the general principals of public administration. The normal length of courses will be 14 weeks, extended to 21 weeks in the case of officers from Departments with economic responsibilities.
