HC Deb 07 November 1944 vol 404 cc1293-4W
Mr. Thorne

asked the Minister of Labour why the National Service officer at Ilford is sending building trade workers to work outside London, in view of the fact that their labour could be used in Ilford and West Ham to repair houses, and if he will remedy this.

Mr. Tomlinson

According to my information, the National Service officer at Ilford has not during the past few months issued any directions to building trade workers to work outside the London Civil Defence Region, except in one case of a man who was directed to first-aid repair work in the adjacent district of Romford.
