HC Deb 18 February 1920 vol 125 cc934-5W
Mr. PENNEFATHER

asked the Minister of Labour how many names have been added to the national roll of honour during the months of December and January; and what was the total number of names on the list at the end of January?

Sir R. HORNE

The number of names added to the National Roll of Honour during the months of December and January was 2,212, and the total number of names on the list at the end of January was 9,654.

Mr. PENNEFATHER

asked the Minister of Labour if he will consider the desirability of placing upon the National Roll of Honour not only the names of firms who agree to find employment for a certain percentage of disabled ex-Service men, but also the names of the trade unions which agree to co-operate in the direction of assisting these disabled ex-Service men to become fitted for, and to obtain, employment?

Sir R. HORNE

I do not think it would be practicable to adopt the suggestion made by the hon. Member.
