2. Captain CROOKSHANK

asked the President. of the Board of Trade what are the functions of the welfare attendant. in his Department?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

The duties referred to consist in keeping charge, under supervision, of the first-aid equipment and of the women's rest room, and in attending the members of the female staff.

Captain CROOKSHANK

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that his Depart meat is apparently the only one which has such an attendant, and will he commend that fact to the notice of his colleagues?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

I think the description "welfare attendant" perhaps is not quite the most accurate one which might be given.
