PART III 



THE MINORITY REPORT 



Before the Departmental Committee took up the 

 second part of its work and considered the " employ- 

 ment " of sailors and soldiers on the land Sir Harry 

 Verney retired and was replaced by Mr. Harry Hob- 

 house as Chairman. Mr. Edward Strutt and Sir Luke 

 White became members of the Committee, and Mr. 

 H. L. French succeeded Mr. F. L. C. Floud as secretary. 

 Mr. Vaughan Nash resigned in March 1916. All the 

 members of the Committee as reconstituted signed the 

 Majority Report except Mr. Edward Strutt, Mr. Leslie 

 Scott, and Mr. G. H. Roberts, who were the signatories 

 of the Minority Report. 



The Minority agreed with many paragraphs in the 

 Majority Report, and in reprinting the Minority 

 Report these paragraphs have been embodied. The 

 Majority Report is not otherwise dealt with in this 

 book.
