HC Deb 22 July 1943 vol 391 c1095W
Major Procter

asked the Minister of Labour how far it is intended still further to enforce the calling-up of one-man and one-woman shopkeepers?

Mr. Tomlinson

My right hon. Friend is not prepared to put any general stop on the calling up of persons in the position described. Before, however, action is taken to withdraw them from their businesses, they are given an opportunity of applying for their cases to be considered on grounds of exceptional business hardship.
