§ 6. Major Anstruther-Grayasked the Minister of Works how many men he employs in Scotland as custodians of ancient monuments, and in similar duties; and, of these, how many are partially disabled.
§ Mr. EcclesThe number of men employed in Scotland as custodians of ancient monuments and in similar duties is 102, of whom 10 are partially disabled. In addition, 63 custodians are employed on a part-time basis.
§ Major Anstruther-GrayWill the right hon. Gentleman give an assurance that where the work is not too heavy, and other things being equal, he will try to employ partially disabled men wherever possible?
§ Mr. EcclesYes, Sir. We have to recruit these men through the employment exchanges, and I will bring to their notice the point raised by my hon. and gallant Friend.
