§ Sir L. Lyleasked the Secretary of State for War to what extent a vocational training system is maintained in the Army during the war; and whether arrangements can be made for soldiers stationed in agricultural areas to volunteer to give some of their spare time to work on farms, with a veiw to enabling them to take on agricultural employment at the conclusion of hostilities?
§ Sir E. GriggThe pre-war vocational training system ceased on mobilisation. As regards agricultural work, I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Howdenshire (Colonel Carver) yesterday.
