§ Sir E. STOCKTONasked the Minister of Labour whether, even admitting the difficulties of making the necessary arrangements abroad, he has considered the saving which would be effected in 2321W respect of the donation if the unemployed were offered work in France and Belgium, either in connection with cemetery or other reconstruction work; and whether he can make any statement on the subject from this point of view?
§ Sir M. BARLOWIn so far as it may be found possible to place British unemployed workmen in employment in France, there will, of course, be a saving to the Unemployment Fund; and this fact has naturally been present in my mind.
