HC Deb 25 January 1949 vol 460 c105W
104. Mr. Piratin

asked the Minister of Labour what is the number of applicants for the competition for appointment as factory inspectors held by the Civil Service Commission.

Mr. Isaacs

A series of competitions is being held with a view to filling vacancies for permanent appointments to the Factory Inspectorate which have accumulated during and since the war. I understand that the total number of applicants in the competitions for appointment to the General Inspectorate, as distinct from competitions for some specialist posts, has so far been 940, of whom 369 were applicants in the latest competition in the series.
