Miss Wardasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will give evacuated civil servants the same assurance as has been given to industrial workers in Cmd. 6568, that those who wish to do so will be given the earliest possible opportunity of transferring to work near their homes after the cessation of hostilities in Europe.
§ Sir J. AndersonCmd. Paper 6568 provides that employees who have worked away from home for three years or more, and want to obtain work nearer home, or are in an establishment with a surplus of labour, will be given high priority in order of release. It does not provide that a transfer will be arranged apart from release. Similar arrangements will apply to the Civil Service.
