§ 117. Mr. Skeffington-Lodgeasked the Minister of Labour what terms of employment are being offered to displaced persons who are being recruited to work in this country; and what response to these terms has been forthcoming.
§ Mr. Ness EdwardsI am sending my hon. Friend copies of the leaflets setting out the terms and conditions on which displaced persons have been recruited for domestic work in hospitals and sanatoria in this country. The terms and conditions for the wider scheme for the recruitment of displaced persons which was recently announced are now being worked out. Under the existing scheme a total of 2,475 workers have been recruited, of whom 1,970 have arrived in this country. Recruitment for the wider scheme will start shortly.
