HC Deb 18 January 1945 vol 407 c377W
Sir Wavell Wakefield

asked the Minister of Labour if he will state the number of people who, although they have no work to do and are therefore unemployed, yet at the request of his Ministry are retained and paid by their employers.

Mr. Bevin

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave him on 14th December last.
