§ 109. Mr. Digby
asked the Minister of Labour, whether, in view of the importance of increasing the production of home-grown timber, he will exempt forestry workers from call-up in the same way as agricultural workers.

§ Mr. Isaacs
No.

§ Mr. Swingler
asked the Minister of Labour if he will give a revised estimate of the numbers of men to be called up for military service during 1948, in view of the likelihood of increasing numbers of exemptions and deferments.
