HC Deb 22 June 1938 vol 337 cc1114-5W
Mr. Parker

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty when light work is to be found for Mr. W. J. Earland, who was injured while employed at the Royal Naval Armament Department, Woolwich, in May, 1936, who is now only receiving 6s. 7d. a week compensation, and who was told a year ago, and at subsequent intervals, that he would be offered light work in the armament department when an opportunity occurred?

Mr. Shakespeare

The possibility of finding a place for Mr. Earland at the Royal Naval Armament Depot, Woolwich, is always borne in mind by the responsible officer. The work of labourers at Woolwich, however, is, generally, fairly heavy work, and such light posts as exist are already filled by disabled men, ex-service and others. If a suitable opening occurs, Mr. Earland will be given employment again.
