§ Sir H. BETTERTONNo such special schemes have been prepared, but, as the hon. Member is aware, training schemes for domestic employment exist under the auspices of the Central Committee on Women's Training and Employment.
§ Mr. GRENFELLIs the right hon. Gentleman maintaining these schemes in full activity, or has there been a falling off?
§ Sir H. BETTERTONI cannot say without notice, but if the hon. Gentleman will put down a question I will give him the particulars.
