§ 11. Mr. H. WILLIAMS (for Mr. HANNON)asked the Minister of Labour the number of women who have passed through the Government's domestic training course since March, 1925; what percentage of these women have on the completion of their course been placed in situations, and what percentage are at present registered as unemployed?
§ Sir A. CHAMBERLAINI have been asked to reply for my right hon. Friend. Between 31st March, 1925, and 31st March, 1926, 5,947 women completed courses in home training centres conducted by the Central Committee on Women's Training and Employment. Complete information as to their subsequent employment is not available, but not less than 62 per cent. are known to have obtained situations. With regard to the last part of the question, information is not available.
§ Mr. WILLIAMSIs the Department in a position to state what percentage of the unemployed women are engaged in skilled industrial occupation, and therefore are not suitable for training as domestic servants?
§ Mr. SPEAKERThat question had better be put on the Paper.
