HC Deb 23 February 1966 vol 725 cc117-8W
Mr. Freeson

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will arrange that permits for the employment of alien workers are issued only where there is an offer of employment for which British, Commonwealth, and Irish labour is not available.

Mr. Gunter

Permits for alien workers are at present issued only where there is an offer of employment for which no suitable British, Commonwealth, Irish or long-resident foreign labour is available in this country.
