§ 56. Sir J. Mellorasked the Minister of Labour whether men on W.T. Reserve, employed in coalmines, will be permitted to obtain other employment when they cease to be liable for recall to the Armed Forces.
§ Mr. IsaacsI would refer the hon. Member to my reply of 18th December last to the hon. Members for South Islington (Mr. Cluse) and Bewdley (Major Conant), a copy of which I am sending him.
§ Sir J. MellorDoes the Minister recognise that many of these men, before they volunteered for W.T. Reserve, were not coal miners and it is a great hardship on them still to be prevented from returning to their normal employment?
§ Mr. IsaacsI would like the hon. Gentleman to look at the full replies.
§ Mr. SpeakerThis is not yesterday. Today we are getting on with Questions.
