80. Major EDWARDSasked the Minister of Labour whether grants made by the Civil Liabilities Department are confined to those who were their own employers prior to enlistment; and, if so, 887 whether he will consider the cases of employed persons who, through enlistment, have been prevented from resuming their pre-war occupations?
§ Mr. PARKERThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. An employed person who is in receipt of a disability pension and is prevented by disability attributable to or aggravated by his military service from accepting suitable employment may be assisted under the Regulations of the Civil Liabilities Scheme, 1918, to start in business on his own account.
