§ 31. Captain STEPHEN GWYNNasked the Under-Secretary for War whether his attention has been called to the difficulty which discharged soldiers experience in finding employment in Ireland; and whether, in view of this difficulty, he will take steps in remount departments, pay offices, and other departments in Ireland which are directly administered by or come under the supervision of the War Office, to replace male civilians by discharged men except in the case of such Civil servants as are indispensable in these establishments?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONIt is already the practice to give preference to discharged soldiers for employment in the departments mentioned, but I am afraid I cannot agree with my hon. and gallant Friend's suggestion to displace in every case well-tried and trained men.
