HC Deb 01 April 1947 vol 435 cc287-8W
100. Mr. King

asked the Minister of Labour what procedure firms should adopt in order to procure labour from the Polish Resettlement Corps; what average time elapses between initial application and commencement of work; and whether the employer can interview and select the employee.

Mr. Ness Edwards

Vacancies should be notified to an employment exchange. Such notifications can specify an individual by name or merely be for a Pole. In neither case may a Pole be submitted if a suitable and willing British worker is available. Arrangements for interview can be made in suitable cases. The time between notification and engagement depends entirely on the circumstances of the particular case.
