HC Deb 12 April 1946 vol 421 c354W
Mr. H. Amory

asked the Secretary of State for War what, in the case of bricklayers, is the highest group reached in offering release under the Class B block scheme.

Mr. Lawson:

There are many different sub-classifications under the general heading "bricklayers" and different groups have been reached in different cases and again in different arms of the Service. It has not so far been necessary in order !o meet the Ministry of Labour's demands to go beyond Group 40 in any of these occupations in any arm, but in many of the occupations and in some arms that group has not been reached
