§ 9. Mr. Gallacherasked the Minister of Labour whether, in the course of his 661 negotiations with the Institute of Journalists with a view to using their members for Government posts of a specialist character in the event of war, he asked the Institute to compile a list of its members available for such a purpose; and whether he has approached the National Union of Journalists with a view to utilising its members for similar work?
§ Mr. E. BrownNo request has been made to the Institute of Journalists to compile a list of its members for the purpose mentioned. A committee of the Central Register Advisory Council has, however, been appointed to advise on the position of journalists in relation to the Central Register and both the Institute of Journalists and the National Union of Journalists are represented on this committee. The committee will meet at a very early date.
