§ 29. Mr. Roland Robinsonasked the Minister of Labour what special efforts are made to provide sheltered accupations for disabled ex-service men who are classified as light labourers, and classified under serial number L 486 at the Employment Exchanges?
§ Mr. E. BrownSpecial efforts are made in the first instance to place these men as far as possible with firms which are enrolled on the King's National Roll. The Employment Exchanges, acting in cooperation with local King's Roll committees, also try to find employment for these men with other employers and local authorities not on the Roll whenever possible. During 1937 nearly 9,000 vacancies were filled by disabled ex-service men classified as light labourers or other similar occupations.
§ Mr. RobinsonWill the right hon. Gentleman take steps to see that as many of these positions as possible are occupied by disabled ex-service men rather than by women at lower wages?
