HC Deb 29 January 1942 vol 377 c930W
Major Lyons

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will consider taking steps, in consultation with the President of the Board of Trade and the Minister of Food, to refer to the various man-power boards the persons known to be associated with what is known as the black market in commodities and foodstuffs, with a view to ascertaining the liability to National Service of those persons and arranging accordingly in proper cases?

Mr. Bevin

I have already made arrangements with my right hon. Friends to examine closely the position under the National Service Acts of any persons who may be known to be associated with what is commonly called the black market.
