Ex-Service Men

Mr. PIELOU
asked the Minister of Labour if he will give the figures showing the number of ex-service men employed in each Government Department; and if he will state in each case what the percentage is?

Major BOYD-CARPENTER
I have been asked to reply. Particulars of the number of ex-service men employed and of their ratio to the total staff are given for each of the larger Government offices in  the monthly White Paper presented to Parliament, of which I am sending the hon. Member a copy. These offices constitute more than eleven-twelfths of the whole.
