§ 5. Mr. Lees-Jonesasked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that industrial concerns are being compelled, in order to continue their membership of the King's Roll, to discharge, amongst other employés, ex-service employés who are not in receipt of a pension in favour of ex-service men who are in receipt of a disability pension; and whether he will consider modifying, in this connection, the conditions which have to be fulfilled in order to qualify for membership of the Roll?
§ Mr. E. BrownI am not aware of the circumstances my hon. Friend mentions, but I should be glad if he would supply me with particulars of any specific case he has in mind. With regard to the latter part of the question, I would refer him to the answer I gave to the hon. Member for Birminghan, West (Mr. Higgs) on 3rd June.
