HC Deb 19 October 1954 vol 531 c1012
15. Mr. Shepherd

asked the Minister of Labour when it is proposed to rescind the Notification of Vacancies Order, 1952.

Mr. Watkinson

There is still a general shortage of labour in the country, and I am satisfied that the Order could not be revoked without detriment to the supply of labour for important work, particularly production for export.
