asked the Minister of Labour whether he can inform the House as to the results of the special appeal which has been made to those local authorities who have hitherto failed to place themselves on the King's Roll; and when he intends to publish the names of those authorities who have still failed to undertake this national duty?

The King's Roll National Council have not yet received all the replies to their appeal to local authorities not on the King's National Roll, and I am not, therefore, in a position to acid anything to my previous replies on this subject.

When may I put down a question to which the right hon. Gentleman will give a reply?

I do not think that there is any undue delay. The matter is necessarily in the hands of the King's Roll National Council. They are discovering, as I discovered, that there are difficulties in the matter. I would suggest that the hon. Gentleman should put himself in touch with the Vice-Chairman of the King's Roll National Council, who is a Member of this House, and then the matter might be accelerated.

What are the difficulties?
