HC Deb 27 November 1945 vol 416 c1056
10. Major Peter Roberts

asked the Minister of Labour whether, in view of the urgency of getting industry into full production, he will insist on an immediate acceleration in the speed of demobilisation in order to release manpower for industry generally, and particularly in Sheffield.

Mr. Isaacs

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to my public statement of 2nd October about releases from the Forces and the statements I made in the Debate on 22nd October, to which I am not at present prepared to add.

Major Roberts

I am aware of that statement, but may I ask the Minister whether he will given me a definite assurance that he will bring pressure to bear on the Service Ministers forthwith in this matter?

Mr. Isaacs

I can assure the hon. Member that all the necessary pressure is being brought to bear.

Major Roberts

I beg to give notice that I shall raise this matter on the Adjournment.
