HC Deb 19 June 1940 vol 362 c157
32. Mr. Parker

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour whether he has arrived at a decision with regard to reintroducing the practice whereby Employment Exchanges ask to see the school-leaving certificates of children registering for the first time?

Mr. Assheton

As was promised in reply to my hon. Friend's Question on this subject on 6th February last, this matter was considered, and Employment Exchanges were authorised last March to revive the practice where this could usefully be done.
