HC Deb 26 June 1957 vol 572 cc37-8W
69. Mr. Gresham Cooke

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what action his Department have taken to obtain seagoing employment for Mr. F. N. Crabb, of 139, Hospital Bridge Road, Whitton, Middlesex, who wishes to recommence his service in the Merchant Navy.

Mr. Watkinson

My Department asked the Merchant Navy Establishment Administration to review Mr. Crabb's case, but I understand that the Administration do not feel able to accept him for employment. This is a matter which is entirely within the discretion of the industry, and I cannot press them to reconsider their decision.
