HC Deb 11 July 1944 vol 401 c1589W
Sir J. Wardlaw-Milne

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will consider the award to young men selected by ballot to work in the mines, in many cases against their expressed preference for one of the fighting services, of a distinguishing badge to protect them from the suggestion that they have chosen a less dangerous occupation.

Mr.Bevin

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to the hon. and gallant Member for Hornsey (Captain Gammans) on 8th June last, a copy of which I am sending him.
