§ Mr. NEEDHAMasked the Pensions Minister whether he is aware of the disturbing effect upon war pensions committees and others who concern themselves with finding employment for disabled soldiers caused by the recent Order relating to restricted occupations; and whether he has made representations to effect modifications so that war pensions committees and others may continue their work of finding employment for disabled soldiers in these trades?
§ Mr. BARNESI have ascertained that it is not intended that the Restricted Occupations Order should be enforced in respect of any sailor or soldier who has been discharged owing to wounds or disablement, and a circular has been sent to local committees informing them to this effect, and adding that their work in connection with the training and employment of disabled men will not be affected by the Order.
