HL Deb 22 May 1969 vol 302 c522WA
LORD LEATHERLAND

asked Her Majesty's Government:

If they are yet in a position to announce a decision on the future of the Method I entry into the Administrative Group of Appointments to the Civil Service.

LORD SHACKLETON

Method I will be discontinued after the examination of 1969. Before reaching this decision the Government had been informed that university opinion was overwhelmingly in favour of this course and that the Davies Committee, whose Report will be available soon, have no doubts about the fairness of Method II which they think should continue in broadly its present form.

House adjourned, for the Whitsun Recess, at five minutes past six o'clock.
