IN the debate which took place in the House of Commons on January 28, 1943, on the sixteenth report for the session 1941–42 of the Select Committee on National Expenditure, on “Organization and Control of the Civil Service”, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Kingsley Wood, welcoming the general tenor of the Committee's observations on the establishment of a Civil Service staff college, stated that he proposed to start at once an investigation into the general question of the training of Civil servants, including that of the establishment of a staff college, its form and character. A committee was appointed for this purpose in February 1943 under the chairmanship of the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, the Right Hon.
