HC Deb 30 June 1949 vol 466 cc105-6W
78. Mr. W. J. Brown

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that, in spite of his assurances that urgent staffing matters affecting Broad-moor Institution would be brought to an issue immediately, these matters are still outstanding, with the result that essential recruitment to augment the present staffs of this institution is in suspense, and will remain so until decisions have been taken; and by what date firm decisions on these matters will be taken and communicated to the Prison Officers' Association.

Mr. Bevan

On two of these matters proposals are under discussion with the Treasury. The third involved a general issue regarding the terms and conditions of service, on which a memorandum is being sent this week to the staff for their comments; and a meeting will be held shortly with the staff to discuss the various points arising.
