Labour Exchange Officials.

HC Deb 27 February 1912 vol 34 cc1335-6W

Mr. MORTON

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in the near future, it is proposed to appoint Labour Exchange officials as Civil servants; and, if so, what grades will be included?

Mr. ROBERTSON

A limited number of Labour Exchange officials of the higher

grades have recently been placed on a pensionable basis, and the Board of Trade hope that it may be found possible gradually to extend what has been done in this respect so as to include a proportion of the officials, both managers and clerks.
