8. Miss Cazaletasked the Minister of Labour what schemes are in operation for training the necessary personnel for staffing British Restaurants and factory canteens?
§ Mr. BevinI understand that the existing colleges which teach domestic science subjects are supplying trained personnel for staffing British restaurants and factory canteens, and that, in addition, the Women's Voluntary Services have a scheme. My Department is at the moment considering means of supplementing the supply of personnel which is already coming from these sources.
Miss CazaletDoes the right hon. Gentleman really think that sufficient is being done by way of training for this important work, and will he consider the setting-up of a proper Food Service Corps with the same status as other War Services now in existence?
§ Mr. BevinI am rather anxious to avoid this continuous setting-up of separate institutions. If I can co-operate with those which are already in existence and get the service, I think it is better.
