HC Deb 24 October 1944 vol 404 c51W
Mr. Ness Edwards

asked the Prime Minister if he is prepared to consider the early release from the Armed Forces of members of local authorities in order that they may take a full part in operating Government plans for rehabilitating the bombed and blighted areas.

Mr. Bevin

I have been asked to reply. I do not consider that I should be justified in asking the Service Departments to release, out of their normal turn, the persons referred to in the Question.
