§ Mr. KEIR HARDIEasked how many appointments have been made by his Department in connection with the Labour Exchanges, the names of those appointed, the salary attached to the position, and the experience in the performance of similar duties to those involved in the new appointment which each of the appointees has had?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI propose, when the first batch of appointments is complete, to issue a statement on the subject. In making the higher appointments regard will be had, in the first place, to organising and administrative capacity and experience. With regard to the appointments of Superintendents of Exchanges, I hope to receive recommendations from the Selection Committee during the coming month. The salaries attaching to these posts were given in a reply to the hon. Member for Bradford West on 21st September last.

§ Mr. CHURCHILLOh, yes. I made some appointments.
§ Mr. KEIR HARDIECan the right hon. Gentleman give the names?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLNo, Sir. I propose to publish a complete batch of the names in order that the whole of the appointments and the character of the staff may be seen.
