HC Deb 20 February 1924 vol 169 cc1736-7
70. Mr. EDMUND HARVEY

asked the Minister of Labour whether, in connection with the, Government's proposals for more adequate dealing with unemployment, vocational training will be provided for adults to meet the needs of those unemployed workers for whom there is no early prospect of work in their former trades?

Mr. SHAW

I am not in a position to make any statement on this subject at present. I may remind the hon. Member that, apart from the building trades, there are at present very few industries in which there is any effective demand for additional skilled labour.
