§ 38. Mr. R. YOUNGasked the Pensions Minister whether periodical visits of inspection are made at training centres; if so, whether the representatives of the Ministry are instructed to make personal inquiries of the men themselves as to whether there are any grievances or complaints, and, if not, will he instruct his representatives to do so?
§ The MINISTER of LABOUR (Sir R. Horne)I have been asked to answer this question. Periodical visits of inspection have been made in the past at training centres, and it has been the practice to make personal inquiries of the men themselves. In view of the transfer of the responsibility for training, certain classes of disabled soldiers to my Department, the whole question of inspection is receiving careful attention, and arrangements will be made to ensure that the inspection is adequate. The point made by the hon. Member will be carefully borne in mind.
