§ Sir W. de FRECEasked the Minister of Pensions if he can make any statement as to the latest steps taken to increase the number of firms on the King's Roll?
§ Miss BONDFIELDI have been asked to reply. Special Local Committees are dealing with the question of employment of disabled ex-service men and the enrolment of firms on the King's Roll. Their work is co-ordinated by the King's Roll National Council under the Chairmanship of Field Marshal Earl Haig. By public meetings, personal appeals and the restriction of Government, and in many cases, of municipal contracts to firms on the Roll, additional enrolments are secured, and in the last six weeks a considerable increase in the numbers of disabled men who have been placed in employment has taken place.
