§ 96. Mr. KINGasked the President of tht Board of Trade whether he will state how many men have applied to the Pelham Committee to be placed in positions where they can be doing work of national importance; and for how many men have positions been found?
Mr. RUNCIMANThe number of cases referred by the tribunals to the Committee up to and including the 6th May was 265. Definite recommendations have been made by the Committee in seventy-five cases, and in forty-five of these actual employment has been found. The remaining cases are under investigation.
