HC Deb 17 May 1965 vol 712 c186W
Sir G. Sinclair

asked the Minister of Overseas Development, in view of the need of experienced men and women in the field of technical assistance, what steps she is taking to keep in touch with the people that her Department now helps to recruit for work in developing countries.

Mrs. Castle

Under existing arrangements all those we recruit are asked to contact my Ministry on their return to Britain and let us know whether they are interested in further overseas employment, but I feel that more could and should be done to keep in touch with them during their period of service overseas and I am examining ways in which this can be achieved.
