HC Deb 17 November 1920 vol 134 cc1881-2
56. Viscount CURZON

asked the Minister of Labour whether any steps have been taken to employ ex-service men in the cement industry; and whether more ex-service men could be employed in this industry with a view to increasing the output of cement?

Dr. MACNAMARA

So far as I am aware, the shortage of cement is not due, to any serious extent at any rate, to shortage of labour in cement works, but I am consulting my right hon. Friend the Minister of Health in order to ascertain whether there are any openings for ex-service men in this direction.
