§ 37. Mr. MILLARasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of National Service whether, having regard to the modifications recently outlined in the scheme of National Service, it is now intended that all miners at present engaged in the production of coal should enrol as volunteers under the scheme, or whether an appeal will be made to miners 2029 to volunteer for specific work in connection with which their services can be at once utilised?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of NATIONAL SERVICE (Mr. Stephen Walsh)Miners have been invited to enrol as National Service Volunteers, to be available for transfer, in emergency, to other districts, but at their own occupation.
