§ Mr. Austin MitchellTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what estimate he has made of the costs of recruiting, appointing and training casual staff appointed to replace casual staff whose period of placement has expired.
§ Mr. Ian TaylorCasual staff are recruited where the requirement for staff is likely to be for less than 12 months. Exceptionally, their appointment can be extended. The need to replace casual staff with other casual staff does not therefore usually arise. Recruitment costs of casual staff are minimal.
