§ 29. Mr. Liddallasked the Secretary of State for War what reduction has been made in the altered home circumstances in the staff, officers and others of the staff of the Claims Commission in this country both in London and the country, respectively.
§ Sir J. GriggThe staff of the Claims Commission, like all other War Office branches, is under constant review. There has, in fact, been a small decrease in the staff of the Commission but in general the volume of its work has not yet appreciably declined and a drastic reduction in its staff now would only delay the settlement of claims.
§ Mr. LiddallIf the services of these officers are being dispensed with, will they be given every assistance to find other suitable employment?
§ Sir J. GriggThat is quite a different question. My hon. Friend had better put it down.
