§ Captain WEDGWOOD BENNasked the Secretary for Scotland whether, when appointing architects in connection with the housing scheme, preference will be given to architects who have fought in the War, other qualifications being equal?
§ Mr. MUNROSo far as the Local Government Board for Scotland is concerned, the reply is in the affirmative. I have no doubt that local authorities will also have due regard in making any appointments to the claims of ex-Service men. The Board has drawn up and circulated a special panel list of architects who were unable, owing to their absence with the Forces, to take part in the architectural competition held by the Board some months ago.
