HC Deb 24 November 1942 vol 385 c651
31. Mr. Mander

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will give an assurance that, in the absence of security reasons, opportunities will be afforded to Austrians serving in the Auxiliary Territorial Service to do work other than as cooks, orderlies and storekeepers, to which they are restricted at the present time?

Sir J. Grigg

I am afraid I cannot usefully add anything to the reply I gave to the hon. Member on 10th November.

Mr. Mander

Does that mean that the Austrians referred to have no possibility of being employed other than in the instances described in the Question?

Sir J. Grigg

No, Sir. If the hon. Member reads my answer, he will see that that is not the case.
