§ 8. Mr. Toucheasked the Minister of Labour what arrangements have been made to ensure the retention of adequate catering staffs at schools; and whether he is satisfied that these arrangements are working satisfactorily?
§ Mr. BevinWomen are not withdrawn from the kitchen and canteen staff of schools, recognised or approved by the Education Departments, except where the weekly hours of work are short and replacement by part-time workers is therefore possible. This arrangement has been made after consultation with the Education Departments, and I am satisfied that it works satisfactorily.
