§ Major Sir S. SCOTTasked the Prime Minister who was responsible for the scheme of demobilisation after the declaration of the Armistice; whether the Ministry of Reconstruction who issued a pamphlet explaining the scheme, the Ministry of Labour to whom all applications for demobilisation had to be made, the Home Office, or the War Office; and whether the order, since revoked, allowing men to be demobilised when on leave was approved by the Army Council before being issued?
§ Sir AUCKLAND GEDDESMy right hon. Friend has asked me to reply. The scheme of demobilisation published after the declaration of the Armistice was prepared by a Sub-committee of the Reconstruction Committee before the Ministry of Reconstruction was formed. The answer to the last part of the question is in the affirmative.
