§ 4. Sir Irving Alberyasked the Minister of Labour whether persons in reserved occupations are subject to any periodical test as to whether they are individually making an adequate contribution to the national war effort in such occupations?
§ Mr. BevinEvery man who is reserved under the Schedule of Reserved Occupations and Protected Work is required periodically to complete a form giving particulars of the duties on which he is engaged. Hitherto, the check applied to these particulars has been mainly directed to the nature of the man's occupation, but arrangements are in process of being made to scrutinise also the nature of the output or services on which he is engaged.
