HC Deb 23 November 1916 vol 87 c1575
63. Mr. T. RICHARDSON

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will consider the advisability of setting up a central board upon which there shall be representatives of trade unions, employers, and the Government to consider and advise regarding the whole question of demobilisation and re-employment after the War?

Mr. PRETYMAN

The question of demobilisation and re-employment after the War is one which is under consideration by the Reconstruction Committee appointed by the Prime Minister. The main Committee and its Sub-Committees include representatives of trade unions, employers, and the Government Departments concerned.

Mr. BILLING

How many times has the Committee met, and when did it meet last?

Mr. PRETYMAN

I do not know. I am not a member of it.
