§ 5. Mr. BUCHANANasked the Minister of Labour whether he can give an assurance to the House that in no circumstances will action be taken for the purpose of making it a condition for the receipt of benefit that all persons who are eligible for enlistment for the Army or Navy shall be refused benefit unless they enlist?
§ Mr. E. BROWNYes, Sir, so far as the present Government are concerned.
§ Mr. BUCHANANIs the right hon. Gentleman aware of the current report that a committee has been set up in his Department to consult with the War Office in this matter, and is there any truth in that report?
§ Mr. BROWNNot concerning this matter. I have already given an answer about the matter of posters, if that is the concern of the hon. Member.
