Mr. Lipson

asked the Secretary of State for War if engineers now being called up from industry and joining the Army can be employed in a trade appropriate to their skill.

Mr. Lawson

Under Army personnel selection procedure all men called up from industry with qualifications for Army trades are earmarked for and allocated to such trades. This procedure applies to engineers as well as to all other civilian tradesmen.
