§ 36. Mr. DONALDasked the Minister of Labour if it is the intention of the Ministry of Labour under the new reconstruction scheme to make all ex-Service men at present employed as temporary clerks in Exchanges throughout the United Kingdom permanent officials and to make all other than ex-Service men at present employed in Exchanges who were not eligible for service with His Majesty's Forces, and those in possession of an exemption certificate, permanent officials?
§ Mr. WARDLENo, Sir; I cannot encourage any hope that all the temporary Exchange clerks of the types referred to will be made permanent. I may say, however, that all new permanent posts on the male establishment of the Employment Exchanges are to be filled for the time being by ex-Service men.
