§ 101. Mr. RAPERasked the Minister of Labour what percentage of the ex-Service men for whom employment was secured through the Labour Exchanges for the 915 two periods 8th June to 8th November, 1918, and 11th November, 1918, to 11th June, 1919, were on the disabled register?
The MINISTER of LABOUR (Sir Robert Home)The percentages for Great Britain are 46.1 in the earlier period, and 18.7 in the later period. The number of disabled men placed through the Exchanges was, however, actually larger in the later period than in the earlier. I am having the figures circulated with the OFFICIAL REPORT.
§ The following are the figures referred to:
§ The proportion of ex-Service men placed in employment through the Labour Exchanges in Great Britain, who were on the disabled register, is as follows:
| Period. | Ex-Service men placed by Exchanges. | Disabled men placed by Exchanges. | Percentage of disabled men. | |
| 8th June to 8th November, 1918 | … | 22,546 | 10,411 | 46.1 |
| 8th November, 1918, to 6th June, 1919 | … | 105,880 | 19,852 | 18.7 |
Mr. J. JONESWill the right hon. Gentleman tell us the number of disabled men who have been discharged from Government offices, whilst married women whose j husbands are in employment are being kept on?
§ Sir R. HORNEI am afraid I must have notice of that question.
