HC Deb 25 April 1923 vol 163 c490W
Mr. HARRISON

asked the Minister of Labour if he will give, so far as he can, the number of persons assisted by the Military Service (Civil Liabilities) Department who are now carrying on the business for which they were assisted?

Sir M. BARLOW

Complete statistics are not available, but a recent investigation into a series of grants made from nine to 15 months ago showed that about 80 per cent. of the recipients were successfully carrying on the businesses for which the grants were made.
