42. Mr. OSWALD LEWIS

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he proposes to take any further steps to ensure that employment is offered to all time-expired men on leaving the Army; and, if so, what the nature of such steps will be?

Mr. SHAW

No further steps have been taken in addition to those given to the hon. Member on 16th July.

66. Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLE

asked the Secretary of State for War what steps have been taken to provide for the absorption into normal civilian employment of British troops withdrawn from the Rhineland and subsequently demobilised?
