§ 61. Mr. MACMASTERasked the Minister of National Service whether it is possible, in view of the present situation and the 2682 progress towards peace, to relax the restrictions in respect of men carrying on what is known as a one-man business, especially in view of the fact that the War must come to a termination before the one-man business men could be trained for service, and that in the meantime the businesses of such men, which involves making purchases and contracts in advance, are both obstructed and paralysed by the uncertainty which prevails?
§ Mr. BECKIf my hon. Friend has in mind the calling up of proprietors of one-man businesses, I would refer him to the announcement made by the Government to the effect that recruiting is suspended.
