HC Deb 20 April 1921 vol 140 cc1854-5
17. Viscount CURZON

asked the Minister of Labour whether the first ex-service man has yet commenced work under the Government building scheme

Dr. MACNAMARA

The scheme, as I have already stated, came into operation on Monday, and applications from ex-service men-have already been, and are being, received. I imagine some men are at work already. If my noble Friend will put a question this day week I will endeavour to give him more precise information on the matter.

Mr. PAPER

Are there still the same openings for these men as there were when the question was first raised?

Dr. MACNAMARA

I do not know why not.
