HC Deb 25 March 1919 vol 114 c218
64. Major COPE

asked the Minister of Labour whether, having regard to the number of discharged men recommended for employment in light work only and so certified on their medical cards, and the lack of such employment in the ordinary labour market, he will consider the question of State employment in special factories for such men, under medical supervision, until they are fit for normal work?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of LABOUR (Mr. Wardle)

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the statement made on the 13th March in reply to the same question by the hon. and gallant Member for Sowerby, to which it is not possible for me to add anything at present.
