HC Deb 19 April 1921 vol 140 c1710
39. Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCK

asked the Minister of Labour whether he has refused to give further training to ex-soldiers and ex-sailors who have received training and treatment in institutions maintained by the Ministry of Pensions, and also such private institutions as the Enham village centre for the curative treatment and training of disabled men?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of LABOUR (Sir Montague Barlow)

No, Sir, arrangements have been made with the Ministry of Pensions and the Enham Village Centre for the transfer of ex-service men who have completed their treatment training and who desire further training under industrial conditions, but the trade depression makes it increasingly difficult to place any large number of men in training in the special trades at the present moment. I can assure my Noble Friend that this question is receiving our constant attention.
