HC Deb 23 June 1920 vol 130 cc2200-1W
Mr. DOYLE

asked the Minister of Labour whether he can see his way to organise trade exhibitions of the work of ex-service men in different parts of the country similar to that now being held in Birmingham, where some 1,500 men out of 1,800 men in training are exhibiting; and, if so, if he will invite the public to unite with him not only to make such exhibitions a success but to stimulate the sale of articles so manufactured?

Dr. MACNAMARA

We have arranged to hold a Training Exhibition at the Central Hall, Westminster, from 21st July to 29th July inclusive, to be opened by the Prime Minister, and I sincerely hope that hon. Members will not only attend this exhibition themselves in order to see the work that the disabled men can produce, but will also do their utmost to make it a success by giving it all the publicity in their power. A number of exhibitions have been already held or arranged in the provinces, and I am considering the possibility of organising further exhibitions in the country.
