HC Deb 19 February 1946 vol 419 cc205-6W
Mr. Edelman

asked the Minister of Labour whether, in view of the fact that many building operatives changed their occupation during the war, he will take steps to encourage them to revert to the building trade, irrespective of their current description or occupation.

Mr. Isaacs

Yes, Sir, this is already being done. A special registration of ex-building trades operatives employed in other industries was made last June, since when arrangements have been in operation for securing their return in all suitable cases.
