§ 8. Mr. HEPWORTHasked the Minister of Labour if he possesses any information indicating how many retired civil servants and ex-policemen who are in receipt of pensions are now competing in the labour market; and what is the policy in the Employment Exchanges in respect of the re-employment of men with pensions?
§ Sir H. BETTERTONI regret that I have no information which would enable me to reply to the first part of the question. As regards the second part, in submitting workpeople for vacancies, the Exchanges proceed on the principle of selecting the best qualified applicants.
