Since the introduction of the change in promotion eligibility rules there have been no Clerical Officers promoted to Higher Executive Officer and no Executive Officers promoted to Assistant Principal Officer through internal competition in my Department.  The Department welcomes and supports these new rules which have been fully implemented in recent competitions.
