Written Answers. - Flexi-Time Work.
Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources
(Dr. Woods): The option of flexible working hours is presently available to higher executive officers, executive officers, staff officers and clerical officers in my Department.
I have no plans at present to extend the scope of these arrangements. Other flexible working time arrangements such as job sharing, special leave are available to all officers occupying permanent positions in my Department. Each application is considered on its individual merits.
