It is agreed, so far: it a man is registered for his occupation or profession, he has to pay a subscription, and if he does not pay that subscription he is struck off the hooks, and can no longer practise. Let us go a little further. Many of these men, when applying for posts, according to the advertisements about them, must he members of such and such a professional or technical organisation. Therefore, it is just as much a necessity, in order to hold a job, to be registered in accordance with the requirements of that particular profession. That being the case, and in view of the admissions that have been made by my right hon. Friend, I do ask him not to be adamant about this, but to consider the matter further to see if something can be done to meet the request at a later stage.
