§ Mr. Parkerasked the Minister of Labour whether it is the practice of the Central Register to notify the employer before offering a post to an employé but not usually to notify the employé if the employer is unwilling to dispense with his services?
§ Mr. AsshetonNo, Sir. The Central Register is a register of individuals who volunteer to undertake such suitable work as may be offered to them except in so far as they are already engaged on work of greater national importance. The practice of the register is accordingly to approach the volunteer in the first instance to ascertain his willingness to be considered for a particular vacancy. Where he is willing he is asked to ascertain from his employer whether he agrees to his release or has any observations to make thereon to the Central Register.
