In other words, re Shorthand-Audio Aypist was going to be held back because the Official Side had introduced criteria which met the needs of the job. So, the Official Bide did not propose to shanga the requirementa for Shorthand-Audio “ypist to Personal Secretary to may lower speed, since that ma regarded as a minimum speed.
