HC Deb 24 January 1945 vol 407 cc827-8W
Sir R. Glyn

asked the Minister of Labour what steps have been taken by his Ministry and the Ministry of War Transport to place in civil employment trained mechanics invalided from the Services; and if the facts are also made known to men about to be discharged through Commands.

Mr. McCorquodale

Arrangements have been made for men discharged from the Services on account of disability or on medical grounds to be specially interviewed in hospital and at local offices of my Department, where every effffort is made to place them in suitable employment. These facilities are well known to Service Welfare Officers and I can assure my hon. Friend that every help is given whilst discharge is pending. A booklet entitled "Release and Resettlement" will shortly be issued to all serving members of the Forces, which will include a description of the arrangements for training and placing in employment those who have been disabled.
