§ 14. Brigadier Fitzroy Macleanasked the Minister of Labour whether he will consider extending the Resettlement Grants Scheme to apply to members of the regular police force.
§ Mr. IsaacsThe primary purpose of the scheme is to assist persons who were in business on their own account, which they had to give-up in direct consequence of their war service, to restart their former business. Members of the regular police force do not come within this category. There are, however, special provisions in the scheme for assisting persons disabled as a result of their war service to set up in business for the first time if this is considered to be the best form of resettlement. I am prepared to consider the case of a disabled ex-member of the regular police force under these special provisions.
§ Brigadier MacleanDoes the scheme apply to members of the regular Army, Navy and Air Force?
§ Mr. IsaacsThat is another question, to be put on the Paper. I have answered the one which was put down.
