Mr. Manningasked the Minister of Labour whether, without abandoning the widely-approved age and length of service principle for demobilisation, he will speed up the rate of demobilisation; and if he will make an early statement on the subject.
§ Mr. IsaacsThe progress of demobilisation is under constant review and every thing possible is being done to speed it up. If there is any change in the programme already published an immediate announcement will be made.
§ Mr. Bossomasked the Minister of Labour if he will arrange to have a regular monthly statement issued in the new year giving the number of persons demobilised out of each of the three Services; the number of persons unemployed; and the number who have been on strike during the preceding month.
§ Mr. IsaacsRegular monthly statements on each of the matters referred to by the hon. Member are already being issued.
