HC Deb 30 November 1936 vol 318 c841
57. Sir W. DAVISON

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will inform the House as to the reasons for the rule which expressly forbids officers of the Ministry in Employment Exchanges in any circumstances to volunteer information or suggest the desirability of enlisting in His Majesty's Forces to applicants desiring a job; and whether the continuance of this rule will now be reconsidered

Lieut.-Colonel MUIRHEAD

As regards the first part of the question, I understand that this matter is to be raised on the Motion for Adjournment within the next few days. My right hon. Friend will then be able to deal with -tae matter more fully than is possible in a Parliamentary answer. As regards the second part of the question, I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave him on 23rd November.

Sir W. DAVISON

Can my hon. and gallant Friend say whether there is any other employment except employment in the Army as to which officials of the Ministry are forbidden to inform applicants for work?

Lieut.-Colonel MUIRHEAD

Perhaps my hon. Friend will put down that question.

Sir W. DAVISON

It is down.
