HC Deb 14 February 1924 vol 169 c1018W
Sir K. WOOD

asked the Minister of Labour whether he proposes to make any addition to the staff of his Department of men and women of labour experience and knowledge; and how he proposes to make the selection of such additional staff?

Mr. SHAW

Apart from any necessary temporary clerical staff required to meet pressure of work due to abnormal unemployment, I have no present intention of making any additions to the staff of my Department from outside the ranks of the Civil Service. The second part of the hon. Member's question does not, therefore, arise.
