HC Deb 22 July 1969 vol 787 c361W
Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Minister for the Civil Service how many executive class posts are offered in the Civil Service for candidates aged 17½ years to 19½ years in Wales and England, respectively.

Mrs. Hart

In 1968, 47 executive class posts in Wales were notified to the Civil Service Commission as available for candidates aged 17½ –19½, and about 1,490 in England. In the competition reserved solely for candidates aged 17½ –19½ there were 14 posts in Wales and about 360 in England. For 1969 the figures for all competitions are likely to be 88 posts in Wales and about 2.000 in England.
