§ Mr. Ioan Evansasked the Minister for the Civil Service if he remains satisfied with the recruitment into the administrative trainee grade of the Home Civil Service.
§ Mr. Charles R. MorrisYes. However, as stated most recently in the Government's Observations on the Eleventh Report of the Expenditure Committee—Cmnd. 7117—the administration trainee entry is currently the subject of review by an interdepartmental committee. The committee will be considering not only the recruitment of graduates into the administration group of the Home Civil Service but also the parallel question of the identification and development of officers of high potential already serving.
