Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications how many of all staff employed by his Department at headquarters and in the regions were obtained from private employment agencies.

Private employment agencies are not normally used to obtain regular departmental staff but temporary staff are hired from time to time from the agencies. On 18th June 1973 there were five such staff in this Ministry.
