88. Mr. PENNEFATHER

asked the Minister of Labour if he will state what steps have been taken in regard to obtaining employment for disabled ex-Service men on the lines of the Rothband scheme, in accordance with the decisions of the Government as communicated to a deputation consisting of Members of both Houses of Parliament in November last, and subsequently to a deputation of disabled men?

Sir R. HORNE

An appeal by the Government to employers regarding the employment of disabled men will very shortly be made, in accordance with the intentions expressed by my predecessor to the deputations mentioned in the question.
