HC Deb 03 July 1941 vol 372 c1466
9. Mr. Loftus

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will arrange for a register to be made in all protected establishments or trades of individuals who have entered these protected employments since the outbreak of war and of their experience in other skilled employment?

Mr. Bevin

No, Sir. The compilation of such a register would throw a heavy burden on the already hard-pressed staffs of the firms concerned and of my Department, and I do not see that any commensurate advantage would be obtained.
