77. Lieut.-Colonel Sir J. HOPEasked the Minister of Labour whether the allowances to apprentices who joined the Army are payable on the date on which their original apprenticeships would have terminated or on reaching the age of twenty-one, whichever is the earlier; and whether there is any difference in the application of this Regulation to Scotland?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of LABOUR (Mr. Wardle)The answer to the first part of the question of my hon. and gallant Friend is in the affirmative, and to the second part in the negative.
Sir J. HOPEIs it correct, as stated by some official, that the payment will not be made in Scotland until the man reaches the age of twenty-three?
