§ Mr. C. Brownasked the Minister of Health whether he will arrange a register of local government officers who have become redundant in certain parts of the country for the information of local authorities whose staffs are continually being depleted through the operation of the Military Service Acts and other defence necessities on which they might 997W draw for reinforcement of their staffs where such staffs become insufficient to deal with vital local government services?
Mr. M. MacDonaldThe National Association of Local Government Officers, after consultation with the Ministry of Labour, have already made arrangements for keeping a register of displaced local government officials with a view to placing them with other local authorities, and I have commended these arrangements to the associations of local authorities.
