§ 38. Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLEasked the Minister of Labour the allocation by counties of the 70,000 to 80,000 disabled ex-service men who are still unemployed so that, since this condition of affairs is being dealt with by counties, there may be greater stimulation in providing the necessary work for these men?
§ Sir M. BARLOWFigures of disabled men unemployed, county by county, could not be compiled without very considerable expense, and I doubt whether they would be of much service when obtained. The King's Roll Committees now set up for cities and boroughs and the larger urban districts are setting to work to ascertain accurately the numbers and names of the disabled men unemployed in their own areas, and this is, I think, the most effective basis on which to proceed.
