HC Deb 08 April 1948 vol 449 c352
47. Sir John Mellor

asked the Minister of Labour how many roadmen have been discharged in Warwickshire upon instructions from the Minister of Transport; how many have obtained other employment; and in what industries.

Mr. Isaacs

Two hundred and sixteen, of whom only 25 registered for further employment. The 25 have been placed in agriculture, building, engineering, quarrying and with local authorities.

Sir J. Mellor

Does that not show that the interference of the Ministry of Transport was entirely unjustified?

Mr. Speaker

That is out of Order as a supplementary question.
