§ Mr. LANSBURYasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether, in order to put an end to the continual discharge of women, ex-service men, and other employés from various Government Departments, he will consider the advisability of reducing the hours of labour in all Government Departments, especially for workers in what are known as the 1415W lower grades, so as to ensure the continual employment of as many persons as possible?
Mr. GRAHAMThe question of the pay and hours of duty of temporary clerical staffs is at present under consideration.
