§ Captain CARR-GOMMasked the Minister of Labour whether his attention 3472W has been drawn to the possibility that by the time the bulk of the men who have been serving at the different fronts are demobilised in this country they will find it very difficult to obtain good employment owing to the fact that such posts will have been already filled by the demobilised men from munition and other Government Departments and also men demobilised from the Home Army; whether there is any remedy devised to meet this contingency in the Government scheme of demobilisation; and, if not, what he intends to do in the matter?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANAs has been announced already, pivotal men who are serving in the Home Army or abroad, will, as far as military necessities permit, receive priority of release, while steps will be taken to release as early as possible, according to the order of their industrial groups, those men who have posts waiting for them. These arrangements should go far to meet the point which the hon. Member has in mind, but I would add that the number of good posts available should not be regarded as a fixed quantity, but as a number subject to continuous expansion with the expansion of industry as the process of resettlement is continued and completed.
