HC Deb 20 November 1967 vol 754 c233W
75. Mr. Coe

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what further proposals he has for widening the present methods of selection to the Foreign Service.

Mr. Mulley

The selection of recruits for the Administrative, Executive and Clerical grades of the Diplomatic Service is the responsibility of the Civil Service Commission.

In co-operation with the Commission, the Diplomatic Service is playing a full part in an extensive campaign to attract good candidates from the widest possible range of backgrounds.
