HC Deb 24 February 1982 vol 18 c417W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether all branches of his Department are currently participating in the job release scheme; and if he will give the reasons in respect of any branch which is not.

Mr. Rossi

Applications from DHSS staff to retire under the job release scheme are not at present being approved. The Department's staff is being reduced and the current recruitment is such that the Department is unable to certify that an applicant for job release will be replaced in accordance with the conditions of the scheme.
