HC Deb 11 March 1947 vol 434 c145W
15 Mr. Rhys Davies

asked the Minister of Labour if he has considered the effects of restricting persons to the mining industry all their lives upon parents when deciding whether their lads shall enter the industry or not; and if he is satisfied with the results of this policy.

Mr. Isaacs

There has never been any intention to restrict persons to the mining industry all their lives.
