§ Mr. Maclayasked the Minister of Labour what consideration is given to the immediate needs of specific towns, districts and areas for building labour in deciding the names of men to whom Class B releases are to be offered under the 978W demobilisation scheme; and whether, if it can be shown that any particular town, district or area is exceptionally short of building labour, he is prepared to expedite the release of building trade operatives whose homes are in that place.
§ Mr. IsaacsI would refer the hon. Member to the statement on the procedure for release from the Forces in Class B which was circulated in the Official Report on Thursday, 11th October. I am afraid that the proposal in the second part of the Question is not practicable.
