HC Deb 13 February 1941 vol 368 c1531W
Mr. Woodburn

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that there is a number of young, capable, able-bodied women of independent means at present wholly unoccupied; and whether he will ensure that such women are recruited into industry before other industries are dislocated by the transfer of women already usefully employed?

Mr. Assheton

I would refer my hon. Friend to the statement made by my right hon. Friend in the Debate on 21st January last.
