Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Eighteenth Report of Her Majesty's Civil Service Commissioners, Together With Appendices, 1874
Under the 7th Clause Of the Order, which empowers us, subject to certain conditions, on the joint proposal of the Lords of the Treasury and the Head of a Department, to dispense wholly or partially with the examination prescribed by Clause II., 175 certificates Of qualification were granted during the 18 months ending with December 3lst, 1873. In a few other cases appli cations were made' to us under the same clause, but we were not satisfied that the candidates so presented possessed the necessary qualifications, and their certificates were accordingly refused. A complete list of all the situations in respect Of which certificates were issued under this exceptional clause from the date of the Order up to the end of the year 1873, is appended to this Report; but we have not thought it necessary to give, as we did last year, full details Of every such case, including a summary of the evidence On which each certificate was based.
The management Of the register Of temporary writers has continued to occupy a considerable share Of our attention. As many as candidates have been examined, Of whom 574 have been added to the list of men-writers, and 174 to that of boy writers. The aggregate total of both classes borne upon our general register, at the end Of 1873, was but a considerable number Of these were, for various reasons, not available' for immediate employment. Excluding such persons, the number on the effective list was of Whom as many as were in actual employment. Shortly before the close of the year, namely, on the 17th November 187 3, revised regulations were issued altering in some respects the conditions under which writers are employed. A copy of these regulations will be found in the Appendix; but we forbear to dwell on the altera tions thus introduced, as well as on other questions connected with the employment of this force, understanding that the whole subject is under the consideration of a committee appointed to inquire into various matters connected with the organisation Of the Civil Service.
