HC Deb 10 December 1919 vol 122 c1359W
Sir K. WOOD

asked the Minister of Labour whether the Employment Exchanges have on the registers a number of vacancies for which suitable ex-Service men are not available, but for which other civilian candidates with the necessary qualifications are refused employment?

Sir R. HORNE

There may be some cases in which an employer who has indicated his readiness to find employment for an ex-Service man is not prepared to engage a civilian applicant; but apart from such cases I do riot think the contingency suggested in the question would be likely to, arise.
