LABOUR NEEDS OF INDUSTRY
SITUATION IN BRITAIN (Rec. 7 p.m.) LONDON, July Ift. Steps being taken to build up the depleted labour force Of some British industries which have met the primary needs of civilian life are announced by the Ministry of Labour and National Service. The highest present priorities for national needs, according to the Ministry, are munitions and housing, then textiles and clothing, including boots and shoes. It is pointed out that the labour supply for these needs in the next few months will be too limited to meet more than part of the demands, except for munitions. The Ministry says that it is necessary that former operatives in these industries who have gone into other occupations should go back to their old employment, and that there should also be considerable recruiting of men entrants. This is already taking place when a change in munitions production has released a number of war workers, and the Ministry therefore has appealed for skilled workers who can be released on “redundance** to return to their former employment
