I am not sure what the hon. Gentleman suggests. If he suggests that I should keep a staff on with the Clearing Office when their work is finished, that I could not do. It would be most improper to keep a temporary department going when its work was finished. Every effort is being made, through the Joint Substitution Board, to find employment for these men, and that is the regular practice. I can assure the hon. Gentleman that every effort will be made.
