HC Deb 14 May 1946 vol 422 c183W
Flight-Lieutenant Crawley

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether young men working in the mines, who are due for call-up, will be allowed to remain in the mine3 if they desire to do so.

Mr. Shinwell:

Young men who become liable for service in His Majesty's Forces under the provisions of the National Service Act will be retained in underground coalmining employment so long as their services are satisfactory.
