HC Deb 10 May 1949 vol 464 c1637
6. Mr. Sidney Shephard

asked the Minister of Labour if his regulations permit young men, who because of physical disability are exempt from military service, to emigrate.

Mr. Ness Edwards

There are no restrictions on emigration in such cases.

Mr. Shephard

Can the Minister say whether any obstacles are placed in the way of young men in these circumstances? Does the young man in question have to obtain permission from the right hon. Gentleman's Ministry before he can emigrate?

Mr. Ness Edwards

I am not certain whether he has to obtain permission, but I can assure the hon. Gentleman that, if that is the case, permission is granted very readily.
