§ 49. Mr. Daggarasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he is aware that appointments of junior staff in local food offices are made through the Employment Exchanges; and whether he will, in preference to this, arrange to allow such appointments to be made by the local committees after appropriate advertisements, especially as these committees are statutory bodies?
§ Mr. BoothbyThe answer to the first part of the Question is in the affirmative; to the second part in the negative. The staff of the local food offices are temporary employès of the Ministry of Food, and in accordance with general Government policy must be recruited through the Employment Exchanges.
