§ 89. Colonel ASHLEYasked the Minister of Reconstruction whether in view of the fact that numbers of men and women now employed in munition factories will be thrown out of work on the declaration of peace, he is in a position to state the arrangements which have been made by his Department to deal with the problem thereby involved?
§ The MINISTER of RECONSTRUCTION (Dr. Addison)The War Cabinet has approved certain proposals for dealing with the situation which may arise on the cessation of munitions work. I am not in a position to make an announcement today, but I will do so in a general statement which, if it is convenient to the House and to Mr. Speaker, I hope to make on the Vote of Credit on Tuesday next.
