HC Deb 27 November 1945 vol 416 c1266W
Mr. Royle

asked the Minister of Labour if he will consider arranging with the chiefs of Service Departments to give immediate compassionate release to the owners of one-man businesses in the distributive food trades, where womenfolk have been conducting the businesses during the service of the owners, particularly where physical exertion is required.

Mr. Isaacs

Release on compassionate grounds is a matter entirely for the Service Departments and each case must be considered on its merits.
