§ Sir M. DOCKRELLasked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that a considerable number of the Irish demobilised ex-Service men, said to be absorbed into industry because of their non-receipt of out-of-work donation, are still unemployed; and can he say what steps are being taken to find employment for them and for the 35,000 men still in receipt of out-of-work donation?
§ Sir R. HORNEIt is not possible to give exact figures of the number of ex-Service men in Ireland who are unemployed, though not in receipt of donation. With regard to the steps taken to find employment for ex-Service men in Ireland, I would refer the hon. Member to my reply of the 10th November last.
