§ 46. Sir Nicholas Grattan-Doyleasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will describe the method followed to keep the information continuously before soldiers that they can be trained at the Aldershot vocational centre in such a way as to enable them to be re-settled in civil life as chefs and skilled workers in the catering trades and private houses, with well-paid permanent employment in situations usually filled by foreigners.
§ The Secretary of State for War (Mr. Hore-Belisha)No training is given at Aldershot or any other Army vocational training centre for employment as chefs or skilled workers in the catering trades. The Army vocational training centre at Hounslow provides training for private service, and the Ministry of Labour provides courses for hotel waiters. The facilities offered for training are brought to the notice of all soldiers by officers of their units, and information on the subject is also imparted by means of visits to centres and by lectures.
