HC Deb 08 July 1943 vol 390 c2279W
Mr. Bellenger

asked the Minister of Labour whether Service men's wives, when directed to full-time work, are limited to employment within a 2d. omnibus fare or half-an-hour's travelling distance from their homes?

Mr. E. Bevin

No, Sir. The employment must be within reasonable daily travelling distance. What is reasonable depends upon the circumstances of each case. There is no hard and fast rule.
