HC Deb 25 July 1940 vol 363 c996W
Mr. Benjamin Smith

asked the Minister of Labour whether the Central Register is in any way linked up to his Supply Board; and whether this association is likely to absorb men and women on the register anxious to use their experience and qualifications in the best possible way for the national effort?

Mr. Bevin

Yes, Sir. I have arranged for the Central Register to work in close association with the Labour Supply Board, and this will assist in the allocation of men and women on the register, who have the qualifications which are in demand, to work where their services can best be utilised.
