§ The VICE-CHAMBERLAIN of the HOUSEHOLD (Mr. Hayes)reported His Majesty's Answer to the Loyal and Dutiful Address from the House, as followeth:
I have received with great satisfaction the loyal and dutiful expression of your thanks for the Speech with which I have opened the present Session of Parliament.
| The position at the various Centers conducted by or on behalf of the Ministry of Labour is as follows:— | |||
| Center. | Number of Training Places at present provided by the Ministry. | Number in training on given date. | |
| Date. | Number. | ||
| (1) | (2) | (3) | (4) |
| Men. | |||
| Government Training Centers | 3,657 | 31.10.30 | 3,486 |
| Transfer Instructional Centers | 1,692 | 28.10.30 | 1,608 |
| Women and Girls. | |||
| Training Centers (Central Committee on Women's Training and Employment). | 1,150 | 25.10.30 | 1,077 |
| Total | 6,499 | — | 6,171 |
§ The differences in the figures in Columns (2) and (4) are mainly accounted for by the fact that trainees are leaving the Centers daily, e.g., to take up employment, and short delays in filling the vacant places at the Centers are sometimes unavoidable.
