HC Deb 10 April 1941 vol 370 cc1702-3W
Sir P. Hannon

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will make a statement on the results of his effort to release from military service skilled artisans whose services are urgently needed in the production of munitions; and whether he is aware that large numbers of skilled and semi-skilled workmen are now in the Army, many of whom have been trained at public expense, discharging work which could be done by the ordinary unskilled recruit?

Mr. Bevin

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply to a Question on this subject addressed to the Lord Privy Seal by the hon. Member for Stoke (Mr. E. Smith) on 26th February.
