§ Mr. HansonTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many ex-service men remain unemployed after(a) three months, (b) six months and (c) one year following the end of their military service.
§ Mr. HanleyLong-term statistics of this nature are not available. But data obtained from voluntary post-exit returns which ex-service personnel are encouraged to complete, indicates that some 80 per cent. of service leavers are employed or otherwise engaged in their chosen activity, such as further or higher education, within three months of discharge.
