War Department, Northern Ireland (Civilian Workers)

HC Deb 05 March 1946 vol 420 cc38-9W

99. Dr. Little

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will give an assurance that workers required by his Department in Northern Ireland will be drawn from the ranks of ex-Servicemen and those who normally reside within that area.

Mr. Lawson

The War Department authorities in Northern Ireland have a standing instruction to obtain all workers required through the local employment exchanges. The submission of applications for vacancies notified to exchanges is a matter for the Northern Ireland Government.
