HC Deb 31 January 1966 vol 723 c159W
59. Mr. John Hynd

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the value of the work of labour attaches in Latin America and the need for an increase in the number of these posts in view of the large areas to be covered, he will take steps to appoint more.

Mr. M. Stewart

I welcome my hon. Friend's endorsement of the value of the work done by the five Labour Attaches in Latin America, of which I found ample evidence during my recent visit to the area.

I and my right hon. Friend the Minister of Labour review regularly the worldwide deployment of Labour Attaches and I shall be considering it again in the light of the findings of my tour.
