BRITISH SKILLED LABOUR
, NO EXIT PERMITS GRANTED j EMPLOYERS ASKED TO REFRAIN FROM OFFERING JOBS Wellington, This Day. ! According to advice received by the New Zealand Government from the 1 High Commissioner in London, the dei mand for skilled labour for wartime I production is so heavy that there is a I shortage of skilled labour for the ordinary requirements of the engineering i and allied industries. In releasing this information last evening, the Minister of Labour. Mr Webb, stated that in Britain manpower requirements I for these industries were not filled unless they had been certified by a technical officer as essential in connection with production for war purposes. "In view of the above position, per- ' mils to leave Britain are not being | issued to such skilled workers,” said [] Mr Webb. "New Zealand employers are requested to refrain from making ] ' to those workers offers of employment lin this Dominion, for the inevitable ! refusal to grant exit permits is in ] i some cases likely to cause dissatisfae- , : tion and tend to reduce, even in a small ; wav. the output of fmoduction vitally I necessary to England's war effort.’ j P.A. ‘
