§ 28. Major Sir BERTRAM FALLEasked the Minister of Labour if it is the intention of the Ministry of Labour to undertake instructional training of 600 fit ex-service men for work in the Colonies, and if new instructional factories are to be equipped, together with hostels, for the purpose at Birmingham and at Clayden, Suffolk; and if, as at least 500 of those men could be taken at once at the Government instructional factory at Saris-bury Court, Hants, with no additional overhead charges, and as that factory is already complete, and in every respect adapted for the purpose, he will consider the advisability of utilising the existing facilities of that factory before incurring increased expenditure?
