HC Deb 14 October 1915 vol 74 c1502W
Mr. WING

asked the President of the Local Government Board if his Department have considered the scheme of an appeal to the employers of the United Kingdom pledging themselves to employ one or more disabled soldiers and sailors, as outlined by Mr. H. L. Nothand, which scheme has already the approval of many employers who have signified such to the above named?

Mr. LONG

The scheme referred to has been brought to my notice, and I have no doubt that it will receive most sympathetic consideration from the new body which, under the War Pensions Bill, is to be charged with the duty of providing employment for disabled soldiers and sailors.
