HC Deb 19 May 1919 vol 116 c35
75. Commander OLIVER LOCKER-LAMPSON

asked the Minister of Labour whether, in allocating posts under the Ministry, priority is given to ex-Service officers; and to which Department in the Ministry ex-Service officers should apply?

Sir R. HORNE

The responsible officers of the Ministry have standing instructions to employ discharged members of His Majesty's Forces wherever it is practicable to do so. The hon. and gallant Member will, however, appreciate that there are posts where knowledge and experience are necessary. Ex-Service officers desiring employment in the Ministry of Labour should apply to the Establishment Section of the Ministry.
