HC Deb 31 March 1919 vol 114 c872
72. Major JAMESON

asked the Minister of Labour if he will say what is the number of representatives of discharged fighting men's organisations which it is proposed to have on the local advisory committees?

Mr. WARDLE

In November, 1918, local advisory committees were informed that, if they so desired, one representative (or in exceptional cases two) of ex-Service men would be appointed as members of the committees. In almost all cases such representatives have been appointed as members; and, to the extent which I have mentioned, such members will continue to be appointed where the committees concerned desire it. As a rule, these representatives of discharged men are drawn from one or other of the local organisations of ex-Service men.
