HC Deb 24 January 1958 vol 580 c220W
Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Minister of Labour whether an establishment resettlement committee for Scotland has yet been set up for the purpose of finding appointments for the officers who have retired and who this year will retire from Her Majesty's Forces; what is the personnel of the committee; where and when it will sit; and what standards of educational, technical and other tests it will apply to determine the fitness of retired officers for spheres of constructive activity other than those in which they gained experience in Her Majesty's forces.

Mr. Iain Macleod

As part of the arrangements for the resettlement of ex-Regulars, both officers and other ranks, a Resettlement Committee for Scotland is now being set up. The Chairman is General Sir Gordon MacMillan, and the membership will be announced shortly. It will be for the Committee itself to decide where and when it will sit and how it will carry out its functions.
