HC Deb 20 February 1919 vol 112 cc1160-1W
Sir SAMUEL SCOTT

asked the Prime Minister whether he is aware of the hardship being suffered by the delay in de- mobilising one-man business men; and whether these men will be given priority over others who are not dependent for their living upon a business.

Mr. HANCOCK

asked the Secretary for War whether he will consider the possibility of expediting the demobilising of one-business men, especially in those cases where the livelihood of a wife and family is dependent upon a business which is being ruined by the man's absence.

Captain GUEST

I would refer my hon. Friends to the answer given to the hon. Member for Nottingham East on the 13th instant.
