HC Deb 03 March 1924 vol 170 c999W
Mr. HAYES

asked the Minister of Labour whether overtime is worked by the employés at Employment Exchanges; and, if so, will he consider the augmentation of the staff from the unemployed clerical workers, even if such augmentation would be of a temporary character only?

Mr. SHAW

Overtime is worked by the clerical staff at Employment Exchanges only when it is unavoidable. During the last three months the average overtime worked was less than one hour per week per officer. Additional temporary staff is engaged as and when required by the volume of work.
