§ Sir R. Wellsasked the Prime Minister which Department is charged with foreseeing the problems of unemployment which will arise from end-of-war industrial 1134W dislocation, so as to avoid a repetition of the failure of the 1918 Ministry of Reconstruction because the Government was then taken unawares by industrial dislocation following the change from war to peace conditions?
§ The Prime MinisterThe problems of post-war unemployment concern a number of Departments and no single one of them can be charged with the solution. The material for a co-ordinated study of the whole question is available, but it will not be possible to formulate definite plans before the conditions of the post-war situation become more clear than they are at present.
