HC Deb 06 December 1922 vol 159 c1742
80. Captain BERKELEY

asked the Minister of Labour whether, in any unemployment relief schemes which he may bring forward, there will be adequate provision for giving training to ex-service men who, by reason of their youth when they joined the Colours, have had no opportunity of learning trades or crafts?

Sir M. BARLOW

There is a preference given to ex-service men in selection for employment on relief schemes; but. I fear that the nature of the schemes is such that they cannot include provision for the training of the men referred to in a skilled occupation.
