§ Mr. R. Morganasked the Minister of Labour whether, in endeavouring to fill overseas posts under the new Higher Appointments Scheme, the London Appointments Office will take into consideration the fact that in various pursuits such as planting and cultivation of all raw products there are great differences of opinion as to the appropriateness of the suggested remuneration; and whether he will undertake that applicants who refuse to accept the terms offered will not thereby be submitted to pressure or be prejudiced as regards assistance should they so desire it.
§ Mr. BevinAcceptance of an overseas post is entirely voluntary and I can assure my hon. Friend that no candidate will be subject to pressure or prejudiced if for any reason he declines to accept such a post.
