§ 9. Mr. Prescottasked the Minister of Labour how many members of the Polish Resettlement Corps have now been placed in employment; how many are still unemployed; and what are the main industries in which employment has been effected.
§ Mr. Ness EdwardsThe number of members of the Polish Resettlement Corps placed in civilian employment is 8,889. The largest numbers have gone into building and civil engineering, agriculture and coalmining, but placings have been effected in numerous industries and services. The remainder are engaged on such tasks as Polish Administration, work for the Service Departments, on loan to civilian Departments, learning English, and so forth. So far as I am aware, no member of the Corps is registered as "unemployed."
