Mr. Brown

I regret that no statistics are available giving the information asked for in the first part of the Question. With regard to the second part of the Question, I am not aware of any case of this kind. The Employment Exchanges make every effort in association with the King's Roll Committees to place all disabled ex-service men on the register desiring employment.
