HC Deb 03 July 1941 vol 372 cc1513-4W
Mr. Rostron Duckworth

asked the Minister of Labour whether, in the case of young women who have registered with their age groups and who are assigned to employment for which they think they are not physically fit, his Department arranges for a medical examination or whether the women themselves are expected to produce medical certificates?

Mr, Bevin

If such a case should arise the ordinary practice would be for the young woman to produce a medical certificate in support of her contention. It would only be when there still appeared to be, some doubt that the Department would arrange for an independent medical examination.
