§ Mr. Paul MurphyThis is a matter for the Chief Executive of the Northern Ireland Housing Executive who has advised me that the Housing Executive has not recruited staff to the Clerical officer or Clerk/typist posts over the past three years, other than through temporary contracts arranged through Job Centres. The Executive is currently in the process of recruiting staff to these posts and hopes to have completed the exercise by January 1998. The impact of the recruitment exercise on the composition of the Executive's work force as a whole, will be reflected in the annual monitoring return to the Fair Employment Commission (FEC).
