§ 25. .Squadron-Leader Donnerasked the Minister of Health whether he is satisfied that the release of building trade workers under Class B is proceeding at a satisfactory rate; and if not, what action he is taking.
§ Mr. BevanI am never satisfied with these releases, but I am glad to say that as a result of the efforts of all concerned the number of releases is increasing very rapidly. The total of Class B releases of building trade operatives up to the 15th October was 12,000; by the end of October this had increased to over 20,000 and by 15th November was nearly 30,000.
