HC Deb 27 February 1945 vol 408 c1264W
Major T. Cox

asked the Minister of Labour what arrangements exist for advising and assisting ex-Service men and women on their return to civilian life if they wish to start-up small enterprises such as rural workshops, garages, retail shops or small holdings, so that their financial grants may be employed in the best way.

Mr. Bevin

I have established a Committee, over which a former Lord Mayor of London, Sir Frank Newson-Smith, is presiding, to advise me, with the various associations, chambers of commerce and others interested, on the setting up of an advisory service throughout the country in order that people may be guided before they part with their money.
