HC Deb 08 March 1920 vol 126 cc937-8W
Mr. ALFRED DAVIES (Clitheroe)

asked the Minister of Labour why the National Union of Ex-Service Men, as the second largest organisation of ex-service men in Great Britain, was not invited to attend the conference on 1st March between himself and three of the other associations of discharged soldiers with reference to the employment of ex-service men in organised trades?

Sir R. HORNE

The three associations of ex-service men invited to attend this conference are those who have from time to time presented the case for the discharged men to the Government, and are, I believe, fully representative of those who have served in the Forces of the Crown. I am not aware that the National Union of Ex-Service Men is the second largest organisation of ex-service men in Great Britain.
