§ 25. Mr. WHITEasked the Minister of Labour how many local authorities have submitted proposals for the provision of centres of instruction for unemployed boys and girls in response to Circular A.C. 3; and how many of these proposals relate to urban and rural areas, respectively?
Mr. STANLEYUp to the 26th October, 70 education authorities had submitted formal proposals for the provision of courses of instruction for unemployed boys and girls. It is not practicable to differentiate between urban and rural areas, as many proposals cover both types of area, but 28 of the proposals are from the Loudon County Council, counties of cities and county boroughs, and 42 from counties. My Department has received particulars of a number of other proposals though these have not yet been formally submitted.
