HC Deb 20 January 1943 vol 386 c234W
Dr. Little

asked the Home Secretary whether, owing to the large number of unemployed in Northern Ireland, he will instruct those in charge of the erection of aerodromes within its bounds to find work for the Northern Ireland unemployed before allowing anyone living outside its borders to be employed on this work?

Mr. Peake

As stated in my right hon. Friend's reply to a Question on 8th October, a scheme has been devised for the control of persons coming into Northern Ireland from Eire or elsewhere: and under this scheme which came into operation on 1st January, permits to reside in Northern Ireland will not be given to such persons if they come into Northern Ireland to find employment for which they are not required. I am of opinion that this arrangement will secure the end my hon. Friend has in view.
