§ Mr. GLANVILLEasked the President of the Local Government Board (1) if he has received a resolution from the Bermondsey Local War Pensions Committee urging the immediate necessity of making provision for grants for men discharged or demobilised without pension similar to those made from the King's Fund to men discharged with pension; (2) whether any steps, as promised, have yet been taken to meet the needs of men discharged or demobilised without pensions who desire funds to restart businesses closed owing to their military service?
§ Mr. WARDLEI have been asked to reply to these questions. I understand that the resolution of the Bermondsey Local War Pensions Committee was not addressed to the Civil Liabilities Department, and it does not appear to have reached that Department. With regard to the scheme for giving assistance in suitable cases to officers and men demobilised from His Majesty's Forces, I may refer to the reply which is being made to-day to a question put by the hon. Member for West Woolwich.
