HC Deb 08 December 1936 vol 318 cc1840-1W
Sir N. GRATTAN-D0YLE

asked the Minister of Labour whether any proportion of vacancies on the staff of the Employment Exchanges is reserved for ex-service men?

Mr. E. BROWN

In filling vacancies for temporary male clerks in the service of the Ministry, preference is given in every case to suitable Great War ex-service applicants. At the end of October, 1936, 84 per cent. of the temporary male clerks in posts were ex-service men.
