HC Deb 10 March 1947 vol 434 c136W
94. Mr. Hurd

asked the Minister of Labour why, in view of the need of increased pig and poultry production, pigmen and poultry farmers are still being called up for military service.

Mr. Isaacs

Application for deferment of the call up of men engaged in these occupations can be made, and deferment will be granted if it is considered that the man's retention is necessary in the national interest.
