HC Deb 05 December 1944 vol 406 c395W
Sir L. Lyle

asked the Minister of Labour if he can make any statement on the number of men of military age in factories which are no longer doing essential war work, and who are accordingly being called up.

Mr. Bevin

Young men who are no longer needed for the work for which they have been retained in civilian employment are being called up as they are needed in the Fighting Services. It would not be in the public interest to make any statement as to the number involved.
