should see no objection to the Commission
being used as an advisory tribunal in such
cases. Moreover, in the course of its
experience as the principal recruiting agency of
Government, the Commission will no doubt, in

extent to which any existing conditions of
service may detract from the attractiveness
of Government service, and may be in a
position to make useful recommendations to
Government for the revision of such
conditions.
(B) Paragraph 172. I have two comments arising
from the use of the word "all" in this
paragraph.
Firstly, it will be the function of the
Commission to make recommendations only for
filling such vacancies as are remitted to it

between the Governor and the Secretary of State,
for certain posts, or for a proportion of
posts in certain classes, to be reserved for
overseas candidates. The numbe And?

a mistake for the Commission to be overloaded
so reserved
by requiring it to undertake recruitment for
an excessive number of minor grades, for
which the existing arrangements for departmental
recruitment are no doubt adequate.
(c) Paragraph 173(i). In general I regard the

opportunities for local candidates as being
within the province of the Government rather
than of the Public Service Commission, though
