§ 14. Mr. S. Shephardasked the Minister of Labour if he proposes to permit the cotton, wool, textile and hoisery trades to employ a quota of European volunteer workers; and if he will state the numbers in each trade.
§ Mr. IsaacsFollowing agreement with the industries concerned, my officers are 81W already placing European volunteer workers in employment in the cotton and wool textile industries and in the hoisery trades. It is not proposed to fix quotas for the numbers who will be placed in each industry, but to relate intakes to the numbers who can be absorbed at any one time with due regard to the availability of British workers.
