Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at on 24 October 1935.
Yes, Sir; and I am glad to say that, with the help of my right hon. Friend the Minister of Labour, arrangements have been made whereby, on receipt of a form of registration from a patient who is about to be discharged from hospital, the Employment Exchange nearest to his home will take all possible steps to secure his prompt return to employment either with his former employer or otherwise. I may add that I have issued a circular—copies of which have been placed in the Library—to all war pensions committees throughout the country, calling their special attention to the points raised in this and the last question, and inviting their active co-operation.
