§ Mrs. Ewingasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many Civil Service examinations require to be sat in England; and which examinations these are.
§ Mr. Harold LeverWhere selection is by examination candidates can choose centres reasonably near their homes. There are some sixty regular centres in England, six in Scotland and six in Wales: others are added where necessary— for example to meet the convenience of candidates living in remote places. The only exception is an experimental system of intelligence tests offered to candidates for Clerical Assistant posts in London; those who wish to avail themselves of this method of entry can at present only be tested in London.
