Major WILLIAMSasked the Minister of Labour if he will take steps, in conjunction with the Department of the Secretary of State for War, to see that the attention of unemployed skilled men is drawn to the opportunities afforded by the technical branches of the services for which recruiting is still unsatisfactory?
§ Mr. WALSHI have been asked to reply. The fact that skilled tradesmen are required for the Regular Army is advertised regularly in the London morning and evening newspapers, and in the provincial, daily, evening and weekly newspapers. In addition, copies of a leaflet entitled, "Opportunities in His Majesty's Army," which sets forth the trades required by the Army, are available at all post offices throughout the United Kingdom, and copies of a booklet entitled, "The Army and what it offers to Skilled Tradesmen," can be seen in almost all working men's clubs and public libraries.
