§ 20. Mr. Robert Gibsonasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that, in October, 1939, an offer was made to the War Office to submit the names of members of the Institute of Automobile Assessors willing to serve in the capacity of automobile specialists; that so far the offer, though acknowledged, has not been taken advantage of; and whether he has any statement to make on the subject?
§ Mr. LawI have seen an offer made by the Institute last April, in reply to which they were informed that all posts of the character referred to are filled by means of the Central Register of the Ministry of Labour and National Service, and they were accordingly advised to communicate with the Ministry. I understand that my right hon. Friend the Minister of Labour has informed the Institute that he will be glad to take advantage of the offer should the opportunity arise.
§ Mr. GibsonCan the Minister say when that information was laid before the Institute by the Minister of Labour?
