§ 38. Mr. WILLIAM ANDERSONasked the Minister of Reconstruction whether any recommendations have yet been made to him by the Committee appointed by him to consider the demobilisation of civil war workers; if he will state the nature of these recommendations; and what action, if any, has been taken in respect of them?
§ The MINISTER of RECONSTRUCTION (Dr. Addison)The Civil War Workers' Committee has presented five Reports. The first has been published, and I propose to lay on the Table in a few days so much of the remaining Reports as it is possible to make public. In connection with a number of the Committee's recommendations, administrative action has already been taken. The Government has under consideration proposals which I have submitted relating to the question of the resettlement of civil war workers generally.
§ Mr. ANDERSONCan the right hon. Gentleman say when this House will have an opportunity of discussing these proposals?
§ Dr. ADDISONThat is not within my province.
§ Sir C. HENRYDoes civil war workers include the temporary war staffs in the Ministries?
§ Dr. ADDISONYes.
