HC Deb 18 December 1945 vol 417 c1285W
Mr. S. Shephard

asked the Minister of Labour why he has issued instructions to his regional officers that applications for Class B release are not to be accepted if the Serviceman in question is due for Class A release within three months.

Mr. Isaacs

No such instructions have been issued to my regional officers, who are in no way concerned with accepting applications for Class B release. In practice, however, sponsoring Departments do not ordinarily recommend the release in Class B of men who would in any event be released within two or three months in Class A, as it would not normally be worth while.
