§ 86. Mr. Fisherasked the Minister of Labour whether there is now available an adequate pool of qualified interpreters for the Hungarian refugee camps.
§ Mr. Iain MacleodYes. Much progress has been made and I can now say that a satisfactory service of qualified interpreters has been established.
§ Mr. Fisherasked the Minister of Labour whether there is a central registry of Hungarian refugees, to ensure that skilled and semi-skilled refugees are placed in employment suitable to their qualifications.
§ Mr. Iain MacleodHungarian refugees with scientific or technological qualifications are dealt with centrally by the Technical and Scientific Register. The placing of other refugees is carried out by the employment exchanges whose system of circulating vacancies is designed to ensure that the best use is made of qualifications and experience. Thus vacancies suitable for Hungarians which cannot be filled locally are circulated to other exchanges in the same region and to other regions.
