Abstract
IN reply to a, question asked by Sir Herbert Williams, the Minister of Labour and National Service stated in the House of Commons on December II that as soon as the necessary arrangements can be made, the present Central and Supplementary Registers are to be merged in a new Appointments Department of the Ministry of Labour and National Service. This new department will deal with persons possessing specified administrative, managerial, professional, or technical qualifications and with others who, though not possessing specific qualifications, have a normal salary in excess of £420 per annum. It will operate through its staff at headquarters or through staff under the control of the Regional Controllers, according to the nature of the vacancies for candidates. It will maintain a separate register of persons within its scope who are known to be seeking an engagement and will endeavour to find suitable employment for such persons in some form of national service. The provincial organization of the department will be closely associated with the new district man–power boards.
