HC Deb 22 July 1918 vol 108 c1440
28. Colonel YATE

asked the Minister of Reconstruction what steps are being taken to help apprentices, whose training has been interrupted by the War, to continue their training after the War, so that they may become skilled workmen?

The MINISTER of RECONSTRUCTION (Dr. Addison)

The Ministry of Reconstruction and the Ministry of Labour have had the question of apprentices whose training has been interrupted by the War under investigation for some time, and their proposals are now under the consideration of the Departments concerned.

Colonel YATE

What is meant by consideration? Is anything ever going to be done?

Dr. ADDISON

We are considering definite proposals.

Colonel YATE

When will they be issued?

Dr. ADDISON

That I cannot say at the moment.
