HC Deb 30 November 1943 vol 395 c241W
Mr. Gledhill

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will consider the issue of some distinctive badge to young men directed into essential work and thereby debarred from joining one of the Armed Forces?

Mr. Tomlinson

The possibility of issuing a distinctive badge to persons engaged on essential war work has been considered on a number of occasions and found to be impracticable. My right hon. Friend regrets, therefore, that he cannot adopt this suggestion.
