§ Commander BELLAIRSasked the Minister of Labour whether, in the case of ex-service men, he can relax the rule of the Employment Exchanges that a man can only register for employment in his profession; and, if so, whether he will allow ex-service men to register also in the side lines in which they may be equally competent?
§ Sir M. BARLOWThere is no such rule. Persons making use of the exchanges may apply for work in any occupation or occupations for which they possess qualification. If they are claiming benefit they must, for obvious reasons, be registered in the occupation in which they seem most likely to find employment, but this does not exclude the entry of any other employment which they would wish to have if available.
