HC Deb 19 February 1953 vol 511 c156W
81. Captain Duncan

asked the Minister of Labour to arrange not to call up forestry workers in the North-East of Scotland until the timber blown down in the recent gale has been dealt with.

Sir W. Monckton

Yes. In the quite exceptional circumstances, I am prepared to suspend the calling up of essential forestry workers from this area for six months. Details will be announced locally.
