HC Deb 10 February 1947 vol 433 c1380
54. Keenan

asked the Minister of Labour if it is intended to modify the terms of the Control of Engagement Orders, in view of the changes in the age of call-up of men to His Majesty's Forces which have been in operation since the beginning of this year.

Mr. Isaacs

Yes, Sir. I have made an order, with effect from 24th February, abolishing all control of engagement except in relation to agriculture, coal-mining and building and civil engineering, in which industries the existing control of engagement continues unchanged.
