§ 57. Mr. ANDERSONasked how many disabled and partially-disabled men have been discharged from the Army up to the present time; whether he can say what steps have been taken to ensure that there shall be no break in the payments made to the disabled men; and, in the case of partially-disabled men, whether steps have been taken to ensure that their part pension from the Government shall not be taken advantage of by private employers for the purpose of obtaining cheap labour?
§ Mr. FORSTERI am advised that it would be undesirable on military grounds to answer the first part of the question. As regards the second part, I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave to the hon. and gallant Member for Wednesbury on 17th October last. As regards the last part, I have seen nothing to show that any such tendency has asserted itself.
