HC Deb 06 July 1943 vol 390 c1929
49. Sir T. Moore

asked the Prime Minister what Members of the Government are responsible for deciding the balance to be maintained between the domestic service requirements of the civilian population as against those of the Services?

The Prime Minister

All questions relating to the balance between the manpower requirements of the civil population as against those of the Services are decided by the War Cabinet, which, of course, obtains advice from the Minister of Labour and National Service and other Ministers concerned. If a particular issue were raised by Question or in Debate, there would be no difficulty in selecting the Minister to deal with it.
