asked the Minister of Labour how many of the 34 additional factory inspectors appointed during the year are regularly engaged on actual inspection, and how many on statistical or office work.

Of the 34 posts recently added to the authorised strength of the Inspectorate, 28 are for general inspection duties, three are for specialist inspection posts for the Building and Civil Engineering Section, and three are to undertake special surveys from Headquarters. None is for statistical or office work. In fact, about 60 more clerical staff were added to the establishment when the strength of the Inspectorate was increased.
