§ Mr. O'GRADYasked whether it is a necessary part of the impending revision at the Leeds office that unestablished labour should be employed continuously during the slack winter season, whilst learners at Leeds are being offered appointments elsewhere; and, if not, whether he will direct that the places which have been filled by season assistants during this period shall be recruited from the male learners at present attached to the Leeds office?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELThe existing arrangements are temporary pending the settlement of a revision involving several important points to which I have had to give special consideration.
