But if we remove a woman from the Ministry of Food, it may simply be creating a vacancy which will be filled by somebody who could be doing a job in a factory perhaps or in some place which would be more productive than the Food Ministry. I should have thought that after last week's Debate it would be a retrograde step for us tonight to say that married women are prohibited from working. I can assure the hon. Member that married women today are not doing a job for the sake of whiling away a few hours or for a little pin money. The married woman who works today is, in fact, doubling her output by doing a job in the factory or the Ministry of Food and doing a job at home. After she does her job in the Ministry of Food, she has to queue for food very often, and has to go home and do a physically arduous job scrubbing her house and doing the chores. I have never observed restrictive practices operating to prevent married women overworking. I would also remind the hon. Member that in the home, the married woman is not legally entitled to one penny for her labours, so do not let us decry her that small measure of economic independence which she might enjoy outside.
