HC Deb 14 February 1946 vol 419 c532
67. Mr. John White

asked the Minister of Labour on what grounds a Class B release was refused in the case of 1627737 L.A.C. T. G. Gill, urgently required to take up a managerial post in connection with food production, whose application was supported by the Ministry of Agriculture, the Kent W.A.E.C. and the, N.F.U.

Mr. Isaacs

On the information given, it was not considered that this young man, who was only 19 when he joined the Forces, could be regarded as a key specialist whose services were personally indispensable for urgent and essential work of a managerial nature.

Mr. White

Is the Minister aware that this young man is needed in connection with the management of one of the biggest poultry breeding farms in the country, in order to release his father to give more time to national work in the poultry breeding industry?

Mr. Isaacs

I can assure the hon. Gentleman that that was taken fully into consideration, but we have to be careful that we do not create more unfairness by such releases.

Forward to
