§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAasked the Secretary of State for War how many industrial and other employés have been discharged from Government establishments under the War Office since the Prime Minister's letter to employers in August last?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSI am not in a position to give this information, which could only be obtained with considerable labour by inquiry from the various establishments concerned. But from figures available at the War Office, it appears that between 1st July and 1st October last the net decrease from all causes in the number of employs in War Department establishments in the United Kingdom was less than 1 per 1,000.
