2. Lieut.-Colonel Dower

asked the Minister of Labour whether it is intended that during the period of leave following release from the Armed Forces, men and women will be free to seek employment through the normal channels of advertisement, personal introduction and employment agencies.

Mr. Bevin

Yes, Sir. It is my intention that men and women released in Class A from the Armed Forces following the defeat of Germany should be free to seek and to obtain employment in any way they desire during the period after their release while they are on leave with full pay.
