HC Deb 08 December 1922 vol 159 cc2203-4W
Mr. PENNEFATHER

asked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that the Royal Proclamation relating to the King's National Roll exhorted all ministers of religion in their respective churches and chapels to read that Proclamation on such convenient days as may be arranged after the issue thereof; whether that Royal Proclamation is still from time to time read in all churches and chapels; and, if not, will he consider whether arrangements could be made for its being so read on frequent occasions in order to remind all concerned of their obligations to unemployed disabled ex-service men?

Sir M. BARLOW

The Royal Proclamation was, I understand, read in churches and chapels on such convenient days as might be arranged after its issue, but I am not aware that it was read more than once. The hon. Member's suggestion in this matter should, I think, be brought to the notice of the King's Roll National Council, now being set up, and I will arrange for this to be done.
