HC Deb 02 December 1943 vol 395 c550W
Mr. Evelyn Walkden

asked the Home Secretary whether he will now issue instructions to exempt from duty or compulsory service all Civil Defence workers and persons covered by any fire-watching Order who can produce a medical certificate declaring that he or she is suffering from thrombosis or phlebitis?

Mr. H. Morrison

Provision is already made for the exemption to such extent as may be necessary of persons permanently or temporarily medically unfit to perform civil defence or fireguard duties.
