HC Deb 24 February 1943 vol 387 cc177-8W
Major Lyons

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has satisfied himself that plans have been prepared by each individual Colony for the early employment or resettlement of returning ex-soldiers of all races and colours, fit, unfit or disabled, as the case may be, on the cessation of hostilities, and that such plans will not be based on what was done in this direction after the last war?

Colonel Stanley

The matter is being considered both here, in relation to the Colonial Empire generally, and in individual territories where the problem is likely to be appreciable. Plans will be framed with sole regard to the needs of the situation expected to arise at the end of the present war.
