Mr. DUNDAS WHITEasked the Minister of Reconstruction whether he has communicated with the Labour Exchanges in Scotland with a view to facilitating the release of pivotal men for industries in which they are specially required, and, if so, whether forms have been issued; and what other steps have been taken for this purpose?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANEmployers who wish to ensure that men serving with the forces who desire to return to their employment are earmarked for early release, should obtain from the nearest Employment Exchange a postcard (E.D.406), enter on it each man's full name, unit, regimental number, and the theatre of war or command where he is now serving, and return it to the Exchange. These forms E.D.406 are also obtainable from Employment Exchanges throughout Scotland.
