HC Deb 27 April 1948 vol 450 c22W
1. Mr. Scott-Elliot

asked the Minister of Labour the numbers of disabled ex-Servicemen employed under the King's Roll National Scheme in Government Departments, local authorities, public utility companies, special undertakings and ordinary employers.

Mr. Isaacs

I regret that this information is not available.

2. Mr. Scott-Elliot

asked the Minister of Labour if he will give an assurance that the King's Roll National Scheme will not be wound up until such time as the Disabled Persons (Employment) Act can give equal or better protection to the disabled men of the 1914–18 war.

Mr. Isaacs

The position of disabled men of the 1914–18 war is specially recognised in the Disabled Persons (Employment) Act, and I do not accept the assumption that the Act gives them less protection than the King's Roll National Scheme.
