§ Mr. Boardmanasked the Minister of Labour whether a final release date can now be given to men released from the Services for industrial work; and whether such men now on the W.T. Reserve will be given gratuities and clothing on the same terms as those released under Class B.
§ Mr. IsaacsMembers of the Forces released to industry before their normal Class A release date are not liable to be recalled to the Forces (except in the event of extreme emergency) after the date on which they would have been released in Class A if they had continued to serve, provided not less than six months have elapsed since their release. They are then subject only to such controls as may apply to other ex-Servicemen of the same age and occupation. Those who were so released before the Release Scheme came 457W into operation received the clothing benefit which was appropriate at the date of their release. War gratuity if admissible is payable on application by the men concerned and forms of application are obtainable at Post Offices
