§ 87. Mr. Lipsonasked the Minister of Labour if women workers who were directed during the war away from their homes and now choose to return may be given free railway warrants to enable them to do so.
§ Mr. IsaacsWorkers, both men and women, who were transferred by, or with the approval of, my Department to employment away from home on or after 1st June, 1940, are eligible for free railway warrants to enable them to return home when they are at liberty to leave their present employment.
§ Mr. LipsonWill the right hon. Gentleman take steps to see that his officers in local exchanges know of the Minister's policy in this matter, because I have had instances where his Department have refused free railway warrants?
§ Mr. IsaacsI should be a little surprised if that should be the case, though I do not doubt the hon. Gentleman's word. There is a special small leaflet published for the guidance of all officers and the public which gives all the information necessary, so that there should not be any doubt about it.
