HC Deb 04 December 1930 vol 245 cc2357-8
9. Mr. LAWTHER

asked the Minister of Labour the names of those responsible for running voluntary agencies who have had the loan of members of the Ministry of Labour staff; and the cost to her Department for the period ending October, 1930?

Miss BONDFIELD

The only case so far as I am aware is that of the agency organised by Mrs. C. M. Headlam, C.B.E., to which the services of a clerk were lent from 18th February, 1929, to 2nd August, 1929, at a total cost of about£61. The agency was, I believe, doing good work, but, as I explained in reply to a question on the subject on 20th March last, it was not considered justifiable to continue the arrangement any longer.
