§ Mr. Maurice Macmillanasked the Secretary of State for Defence (1) if he will list in the Official Report the number of (a) military and (b) civilian personnel who have been engaged in the resettlement of Service personnel in each of the Services in each of the last 12 years;
(2) if he will list the number of personnel from each of the Services receiving any form of resettlement assistance or advice for each of the past 12 years; and what significant trends have emerged.
§ Dr. GilbertResettlement advice and assistance for members of the Armed Forces involves a wide range of activities and agencies. In addition to the resettlement service run by the Armed Forces many other agencies play an essential part. These include the employment services division of the Manpower Services Commission and other bodies such as the Officers Association and the Regular Forces Employment Association.
In these circumstances it is not practicable to give comprehensive figures for the numbers engaged in Service resettlement work or for the numbers of Service personnel receiving resettlement advice or assistance.
