Mr. Lewis

asked the Minister of Works if he will give detailed particulars of the persons to whom he has issued licences to trade in Trafalgar Square, with information as to the number that were previously trading prior to the introduction of the licensing system; and what number of disabled ex-Service men, who were previously trading, have had their licence applications refused.

Mr. Eccles

The table below gives particulars of those to whom licences have been issued to date. Forty-four applicants claimed to be trading in photography on the Square prior to 8th June, and 20 to be selling corn. Of these, eight who are disabled ex-Service men have been refused licences.

of equipment, he will arrange for trainers to be given early notification immediately following medical examination in cases where racing apprentices are being called for National Service.

Mr. Watkinson

Men are informed of their grading at the time of the medical examination. If placed in Grade I or II a man knows that he will be called up in the next few weeks. If placed in Grade III or IV he cannot be told at the time whether he is to be called up, but if it is decided not to call him up he is so informed within 28 days and can then tell his employer. I will write to my hon. Friend about the particular case he has referred to my right hon. Friend.
