HC Deb 15 May 1947 vol 437 c177W
49. Mr. Prescott

asked the Minister of Labour if it is the policy of his Department to encourage part-time evening work in textile mills.

Mr. Ness Edwards

In view of the acute shortage of workers and the urgent need of increased production, I am sure there are many cases in which women might well render part-time service by working in textile mills in the evening.
