§ Mr. Garro Jonesasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether he is aware that a high proportion of appointments to the food office of the city of Aberdeen were not made in accordance with the normal and proper procedure from lists at the Employment Exchange; 410W and whether he can give an assurance that any future appointments of this class, in any area, will be made from the unemployed register?
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydLast September, owing to a breakdown of certain arrangements for employing volunteers, paid staff had to be recruited at short notice for urgent work in the City of Aberdeen Food Office, and the procedure for obtaining candidates through the Employment Exchange was, in many instances, not followed. For future appointments the normal procedure will be observed.
