14. Miss Wardasked the Minister of Labour whether, in order to lessen the rigidity of the Schedule of Reserved Occupations, he will establish machinery to allow people unable to find employment in their registered category to be freed from the restriction placed on their employment in other directions?
§ Mr. E. BrownThe Schedule of Reserved Occupations does not restrict the employment of any person except as a whole-time member of one of the Defence services. I would point out also that, as I mentioned in reply to an earlier question, instructions have been issued which will enable the restriction imposed by the Schedule to be removed in cases of the kind which my hon. Friend doubtless has in mind.
