Placing officers are instructed to endeavour to persuade workers to be submitted for jobs which are important to the community, and they fully appreciate the position in this respect regarding the work to which my hon. Friend refers. Bearing in mind that this work is not illegal, and that if my officers were instructed not to handle the vacancies these employers could still undoubtedly get their jobs filled in other ways, I propose to continue the existing practice so that my officers will continue to have the opportunities of persuading applicants for these jobs to take more important jobs.
