HC Deb 15 December 1927 vol 211 cc2487-8
65. Major COHEN

asked the President of the Board of Trade what will be the constitution of the committee he proposes to set up to inquire into the problem of finding work for unemployed men outside the congested areas in which they reside; will one of the commissioners, at least, be an ex-service man; and will the British Legion be consulted or cooperated in any way?

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND

I have been asked to reply. The constitution of this Board is still under consideration. I have no doubt that when the Board is appointed, it will welcome the co-operation of all organisations, including the British Legion, who may be able to help it in carrying out its task.
