§ Mr. SHORTasked the First Lord of the Admiralty what arrangements, if any, were made for the absorption into civilian clerical employment in his Department of men demobilised from His Majesty's forces (clerical home-service units) from 1918 to October, 1920?
§ Commander EYRES-MONSELLNo arrangements were made for the absorption of men from clerical home-service units. Since the general completion of demobilisation all arrangements have been in the hands of the Joint Substitution Board (Ministry of Labour), and the Admiralty has, generally speaking, accepted any applicant sent by that Board.
