§ 62. Mr. Leslieasked the Minister of Labour whether he will set a time limit for W (T) Reserve men engaged on bomb-damage repairs in London to be transferred to their home districts, where they are urgently needed for building houses under local authorities' schemes; and 1536 if it is found impossible to spare single men from London, will consideration be given to the case of married men.
§ Mr. IsaacsThe general question of men from other areas who are engaged on war damage repairs in London is under consideration, and I anticipate that an announcement will be made very shortly.
§ Mr. LeslieIs the Minister aware of the feelings of resentment, especially on the part of married men, at being kept in London while their old jobs are waiting for them in the North of England for the erection of much needed homes?
§ Mr. IsaacsBecause of that we are pushing on with our consideration of the matter.
