§ 63. Colonel Dodds-Parkerasked the Minister of Labour whether he can now include in Class B former employees in the paper trade, so as to put them on the same footing as printers and stimulate the production of paper and printed matter for export.
§ Mr. IsaacsNeither the printing trade nor the paper trade are covered by schemes for block release from the Forces in Class B. It is open to the appropriate Government Department to sponsor an application for the release from the Forces in Class B of a former employee 1361 in the paper trade if he is an individual key specialist urgently required for reconstruction work.
§ Mr. Kenneth LindsayCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether that will apply to binders in view of the enormous and unprecedented demand for British books in Europe?
§ Mr. IsaacsIt applies generally to any industry which can show that an individual key specialist is required to get on with the work.
