HC Deb 17 November 1920 vol 134 c1927W
Mr. KILEY

asked the First Commissioner of Works how many men and women, respectively, were employed by his Department in November 1918, and what the numbers are at the present time?

Sir A. MOND

1,800 men and 450 women were employed by my Department in November, 1918, and the numbers employed at present are 2,254 men and 409 women. The increase in the number of men is due chiefly to the work in connection with housing which we are carrying out for the Ministry of Health.
