§ Mr. Kirbyasked the Secretary of State for War whether he has knowledge of any men who were mobilised in the recent emergency and who, upon being demobilised, were not re-employed by their former employers; what steps he is taking to secure the reinstatement of such men; and will he give the names of the employers concerned to the House?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaI gave particulars to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Chatham (Captain Plugge) in reply to a question on 22nd November. According to the latest information I have, the number of men who have neither been reinstated by their former employers, nor found other employment, is reduced to 32. On consideration, I do not think it would be advisable to publish the names of the employers concerned.
