HC Deb 30 July 1940 vol 363 c1174W
Sir T. Moore

asked the Minister of Labour to what extent it has been possible so far to develop a scheme under which volunteers from the professional and clerical classes undertake a certain amount of spare time work in factories producing munitions and other products of vital national importance?

Mr. Assheton

The Department is looking into the possibility of arrangements for using spare-time labour on machines during periods when they would otherwise be idle.
