§ 51. Squadron-Leader Erringtonasked the Minister of Labour whether he can give the percentage of those under 30 years of age who interview women registered for National Service: and 524 whether he is aware that in many cases there is resentment by older women at the youth of those who interview them?
§ Mr. McCorquodaleI can assure my hon. Friend that in order to avoid any resentment such as he mentions it is the general policy of the Department to employ women of mature years on interviewing work. According to the latest figures available, which were compiled in May last, about 85 per cent. of the officers employed on this work are over 30 years of age.
