HC Deb 06 February 1940 vol 357 c58W
Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Labour why Employment Exchanges have completely suspended the practice of asking to see the school leaving certificates of children registering for the first time; and whether he will consider its immediate reintroduction?

Mr. E. Brown

The suspension of this practice was part of the emergency arrangements introduced at the outbreak of the war. I am considering the question of reviving it.
