109. Sir W. Smithers

asked the Minister of Transport how many extra men and women will be required to maintain the same service as at present when the 44-hour week comes into operation in the L.P.T.B.

Mr. Barnes

About 2,000; but it has been agreed that, until they can be recruited, the necessary overtime will be worked.
