HC Deb 17 October 1916 vol 86 c410W
Colonel GRIFFITHS

asked the Ministry of Munitions what steps are being taken by his Department for the distribution of discharged men to replace single men working in controlled establishments, and whether a number of discharged men are available for the purpose, and if he can state what is the cause of the delay in arranging further exchange?

Mr. PRIMROSE

As my right hon. Friend indicated last week, a scheme is under discussion between the Ministry of Munitions and the War Office for replacing single unskilled men working on munitions by men unfit for general service. I regret that it is not yet possible to announce the details.
