§ 99. Sir W. Smithersasked the Minister of Labour what reply he has made to the formal request made by the British Transport Commission to exempt their employees from being called-up.
§ Mr. RobensThe request was not that employees of the Commission should be exempted from call-up but that the calling-up of individual men, among those employed by the Railway Executive in certain grades and districts, should be deferred for 12 months. I have replied that I am unable to grant this request.
