HC Deb 01 August 1966 vol 733 c24W
Mr. Temple

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) how many cadet valuers have completed their period of training with his Department; and how many have been enlisted but failed to complete training since the initiation of the scheme;

(2) when the scheme for training cadet valuers was introduced; and how many cadet valuers have been taken on by his Department since the initiation of the scheme.

Mr. MacDermot

The first open competition for Cadet Valuers was held in April 1966. There were 48 recruits all of whom are still undergoing training. The title "Cadet Valuer" is now also applied to 120 trainees already in the Valuation Office, drawn mainly from the clerical staff.
