§ 1. Major-General Sir ALFRED KNOXasked the Minister of Labour whether coloured pictorial recruiting posters are now hung in all Employment Exchanges; and whether he will instruct exchange officials to give recruiting leaflets to applicants for work who are of recruitable age?
§ The MINISTER of LABOUR (Mr. Ernest Brown)A coloured poster about service in the Forces is exhibited in each of the local offices of the Ministry, and leaflets are given to any applicants making inquiry. Under arrangements already in hand, pictorial posters, supplied by the Service Departments, will also be exhibited at an early date.
§ Sir A. KNOXWill the right hon. Gentleman give instructions that these leaflets are to be given by exchange officials to any applicant for a job who is of suitable age?
§ Sir A. KNOXIs it right that the exchanges should be ashamed of the Army?
§ Mr. BUCHANANWhy not distribute the leaflets round the Tory clubs instead of to die poor unemployed?
§ Sir A. KNOXIn view of the thoroughly unsatisfactory nature of the right hon. Gentleman's reply, I beg to give notice that I will raise the question on the Motion for the Adjournment.
