§ Mr. John GarrettTo ask the Minister for the Civil Service what proportion of executive officer and clerical officer entrants to the Civil Service in 1987 were graduates.
§ Mr. LuceThe Civil Service Commission recommended for appointment to executive officer and equivalent grades 4,052 candidates in 1987 of whom 2,281 (56 per cent.) were graduates.
Figures for the number of graduates appointed as administrative officers (formerly clerical officers) are not available as recruitment is carried out locally by individual Government Departments and not by the Civil Service Commission.
