§ Mr. Prenticeasked the Minister of Labour how many meetings have been held this year by the inter-Departmental Committee dealing with the employment problems of older men and women; and whether he will make a statement on the results of the Committee's work.
§ Mr. P. ThomasThe Committee has not yet met this year but it is proposed to call a meeting shortly after which I propose to consider the need for its continuance. Its main work, so far, has been to approve the publication of a booklet, "The Older Worker and His Job", reviewing recent research, which was prepared by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research at the request of my Department. I am sending a copy of the booklet to the hon. Member.
