HC Deb 13 February 1959 vol 599 c259W
Mr. Body

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what special steps he is now taking to recruit more probation officers.

Mr. R. A. Butler

I have recently advertised vacancies in the London Probation Service for qualified and experienced social case-workers. I have also advertised a special training course with a view to appointments in the Greater London Area. Meanwhile, recruitment to training for appointment in any part of the country, including London, is proceeding continuously.
