§ 5. Mr. Bossomasked the Minister of Labour whether architects and surveyors now in the Forces will get special emergency releases as soon as regular demobilisation commences.
§ Mr. BevinUnder the Government scheme for release from the Forces after the defeat of Germany, it will be open to the appropriate Government Departments to apply for the release of architects and surveyors as individual specialists, provided they are shown to be necessary, and do not involve the reduction of those entitled to come out under Class A.
§ Mr. BossomWill my right hon. Friend bear in mind that these are key people, and that if they are not available the building trade operatives will be prevented from getting ahead with their work?
§ Mr. BevinI think we can overestimate the value of these specialists. I want to make it clear that I cannot be a party to reducing the number of people entitled to come under Class A. if I did, the whole demobilisation scheme would break down.
