§ Mr. Grovesasked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware of the diffi- 48W culty of securing Group IV forms for firms registered within this category; and whether he will take the necessary steps to correct this matter?
§ Mr. BevinIt has been decided, after consultation with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Works and Buildings, to remove the dual ages of reservation for building operatives from the Schedule of Reserved Occupations and to allow the present single ages to continue in force, until further notice. Consequently it will not be necessary to proceed with the arrangements referred to under Group IV of the Schedule which will be suitably amended. If building employers employ men in dual age occupations affected at Stage B, which will be reached on 1st July, it is open to them to apply for admission to the Register under Group 11 if they are qualified to do so in respect of their Government contracts.
