HC Deb 09 October 1941 vol 374 cc1095-6
13. Sir Francis Fremantle

asked the Minister of Labour how many men and women have been rejected for the Services on account of defective hearing; what arrangements are made to secure employment for men discharged from the Services on account of deafness; and whether he will obtain the co-operation of the National Institute for the Deaf in this task?

Mr. Bevin

As regards the first part of the Question, I regret that this information is not available. In regard to the second part, every effort is made through the Employment Exchange service to secure employment for men discharged from the Services on account of deafness, and I am in touch with the National Institute for the Deaf in this connection.
