Of course there will be that concern for newly employed staff, but we know from existing practices that extra staff may well not be taken on. The existing staff will be expected to cover the additional time by reducing the hours worked from Monday to Friday. There are many problems.

Like many other Members, I have been contacted by constituents and petitioners who find that very difficult.
