HC Deb 11 June 1940 vol 361 c1149W
Mr. Errington

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour the number of dock labourers under 30 years of age who have been exempted from military service; and of these, can he say the number who have received tallies since the beginning of the war?

Mr. Assheton

Dock workers of and over the age of 25 are covered by the Schedule of Reserved Occupations. I am not in a position to give information as to the number so covered or as to the number who have received tallies under port registration schemes since the beginning of the war.
