HC Deb 06 August 1924 vol 176 cc2949-50W
Sir J. PENNEFATHER

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if his attention has been drawn to a resolution passed by the Liverpool City Council on the 30th ultimo, authorising various standing committees to arrange for the employment of 100 disabled soldiers suffering from disabilities and graded B or C who are now on the Liverpool King's Roll; and will he consider whether such cases can be dealt with as a national and not a municipal matter?

Mr. SHAW

I have been asked to reply. The decision of the Liverpool City Council was communicated to the King's Roll National Council at their last meeting on 30th July, but, so far as I am aware, neither the National Council nor my own Department has yet received details of the arrangement the city council propose to make nor of the responsibilities which they consider the Government should accept.
