§ 52. Mr. DOUGLAS HALLasked the Prime Minister whether he will be caused to be issued by the War Office and the Board of Admiralty a compendious statement showing the various combatant or non-combatant units, posts, duties, or employment which offer opportunities to efficient and suitable civilians to serve the State, distinguishing in each case between officers and men, and stating specifically whether such service will be for the period of the War or a definite time?
§ The PRIME MINISTERSuch a Return would involve very considerable labour to the Departments concerned, and I am unable to ask them to undertake it at the present time.
§ Mr. HALLHow can any individual who wishes to serve his country learn in what way his services are most acceptable?
§ The PRIME MINISTERA large number of leaflets and pamphlets are in circulation on the subject. If the hon. Member will bring the matter more closely to my notice I will see what can be done.
