82. Major Lloydasked the Minister of Labour what steps he is taking to encourage two-shift working in industry.
Mr. LeeThe present general labour shortage must necessarily limit the extent to which two-shift working can be introduced. Where the need arises my Department assist in the recruitment of76W workers for additional shifts and, in particular, encourages the working of short shifts, often in the evening, at hours which make it possible for married women to fit in some industrial employment with their domestic responsibilities.
