§ 24. Mr. PENNEFATHERasked the Minister of Labour whether he is yet in a 365 position to state the number of employers in Liverpool whose names were added to the Roll of Honour during the months of August and September?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe number of employers in the County Borough of Liverpool whose names were on the King's National Roll on 1st August, 1920, was 317. They employ 2,790 disabled men. Six additional employers were added to the Roll during August, 18 during September, and 53 during October up to the 27th of that month, making a total of 394. The total number of disabled men now employed by the firms on the King's Roll is 3,654. In addition, three branches of firms with headquarters outside Liverpool were added during September.
§ Mr. PENNEFATHERMay I ask whether the right hon. Gentleman considers the figures of the Roll of Honour to be satisfactory?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAI do not want to seem ungracious, but there are 400 firms in Liverpool with 25 workpeople, and I think they ought all to be on the Roll.
