SKILLED WORKERS
IMPORTANCE OF REGISTRATION ORDER | British Official Wireless) (Received 17th August, 10.22 a.m.) RUGBY, 16th August. Sir William Beveridge explained in a broadcast speech to-night the importance of the industrial registration order issued by the Minister of Labour. Mr Ernest Bevin, last week requiring the compulsory registration of certain classes of skilled workers, mainly in engineering. Sir William said that the order did not stand alone. It was part of a general plan to ensure that all the brains and muscles of the nation are used in the right way so that there is no waste or injustice. The order is not directly concerned with using the energies of people now idle, unoccupied or ill-occupied as it dealt only with men of rare skill. Indirectly the order is one of the things most needed to allow all men and women, skilled and unskilled, old and young, to swing into line behind the national effort. Skilled men starting work made demand for the rest.
