HC Deb 31 October 1944 vol 404 cc650-1W
Mr. Harvey

asked the Minister of Labour how many chemists, physicists and engineers have been released from war service during the past two years and guided into coal research.

Mr. Bevin

So far as my information goes no releases from the Forces for the purpose referred to in the Question have taken place. I am not aware of any such releases from other forms of war service.
