§ 6. Mr. Silkinasked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that numbers of building operatives are unwilling to be demobilised from the Forces because they object to the condition of release, that they are to be subject to direction for an indefinite period; and whether he will consider some relaxation of this condition.
§ Mr. BevinI assume my hon. Friend is referring to release from the Forces in Class B after the defeat of Germany.

It is not possible at present to say how long this will be.
