§ 77. Sir HENRY COWANasked the Minister of National Service whether his attention has been called to an advertisement, widely displayed at railway stations and elsewhere, by the British School of Motoring, Limited, stating that 5,000 men and women are wanted immediately for positions of national importance, and that the country needs that number of motor drivers and will pay them well; whether he is aware that the British School of Motoring undertakes to train applicants for such employment in a period of two 1545 weeks; whether he is aware that numbers of women who, relying upon these representations, have taken this course of instruction and incurred expense in so doing, have failed to obtain Government employment on account of the inadequacy of such training; whether the Ministry of National Service has sanctioned the action of the British School of Motoring; and, if not, what steps he proposes to take for the protection of the public?
§ Sir A. GEDDESNo, Sir; I have no information regarding the points raised by my hon. Friend.
§ Sir H. COWANMay I hand in the particulars to my right hon. Friend?
