§ 48. Mr. DAYasked the Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence, whether he will give instructions that, all things being equal, opportunities should be given to unemployed persons to fill vacant positions on the industrial and clerical staff to be engaged by his Department?
§ Sir T. INSKIPI think it will not be necessary for me to engage any industrial staff. As regards clerical staff, this will be recruited in the same way as the clerical staff of other Government Departments.
§ Mr. DAYHas any estimate been made of the number of staff that will be required immediately for this Department?
§ Sir T. INSKIPNo, Sir.
