HC Deb 18 July 1923 vol 166 cc2291-2
26. Sir CHARLES CAYZER

asked the Minister of Labour what steps are being taken to render more useful and effective the existing machinery of the King's Roll; whether he has any records showing the numbers of disabled men throughout the country who are on this roll in their various centres still awaiting employment; and whether he will undertake a concerted effort towards making the machinery of the King's Roll really effective for the purposes for which it was created?

Sir M. BARLOW

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply on the subject of the King's Roll given to the hon. and gallant Member for Buckingham on 9th July. If the hon. Member will repeat his question next week I hope to be able to furnish him with the information desired.

Sir C. YATE

Has the list of authorities and firms who are not on the King's Roll been published yet?

Sir M. BARLOW

The King's Roll National Council are reporting to me shortly. I shall then be in a better position to answer inquiries on this and similar matters when I have received their report.

Sir C. YATE

Has the right hon. Gentleman's attention been called to the "British Legion Journal" for March last? I think he will find the list published there?

Sir M. BARLOW

I have seen the publication to which the hon. and gallant Gentleman refers. But the King's Roll National Council have the matter under their careful consideration, and are reporting to me almost at once.
