HC Deb 23 February 1917 vol 90 c1590W
Mr. BROOKES

asked the Secretary to the Local Government Board whether, under the scheme of National Service, it is intended to utilise middle-aged middle-class men for clerical work in substitution for those men of military age?

Mr. HAYES FISHER

This question should have been addressed to my right hon. Friend the Member for the Barnard Castle Division, who has, however, asked me to answer it. Every endeavour will be made to utilise such men in the manner indicated, and in other suitable ways, under the scheme of National Service.
