§ Mr. AYLESasked the Minister of Labour whether he will see that no overtime in Government establishments is worked, except in exceptional circumstances, where arrangements can be made for additional staff while unemployment remains so acute?
Mr. GRAHAMEvery effort is made to reduce overtime in Government Offices to the narrowest possible limits, with special reference to the prevailing unemployment; and, so far as I am2376W aware, no overtime is being worked which could be avoided, with due regard to the despatch of business, by the engagement of additional staff or by the postponement of discharge of redundant staffs.
