Local Committees To Consider Reserved Occupations
[Per Press Association. Copyright ] WELLINGTON, This Day. The Minister-in-Charge of Manpower (Mr Webb) states that, up to the present time, postponement of acceptance of men for service has been decided upon by departmental officers of the Army and State Placement Service, acting in collaboration, and, as directed in a schedule, adopted by the Government, of those occupations which had to be regarded as highly important. After a very careful consideration, the Government had decided to appoint local manpower advisory committees to consider all such cases. The committees would utilise existing machinery and would consist of three members, one nominated by employers’ organisations, one by employees’ organisations, and one by local authorities. The districts covered: Auckland, Paeroa, Whangarei, Hamilton, Wellington, Wanganui, Gisborne, Napier, Masterton, New, Plymouth, Nelson, Greymouth, Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin and Invercargill. *
