HC Deb 13 June 1940 vol 361 c1404W
Mr. Joel

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour what steps have been taken to ensure useful employment at the earliest opportunity for able-bodied refugees from Holland, Belgium, and Norway?

Mr. Assheton

Arrangements have been made whereby war refugees from Holland, Belgium and Norway, after registering with the police, may register for employment at the local offices of the Ministry. Subject to security considerations, they will be submitted for any employment for which no suitable British subjects are available.
