§ 6. Mr. Hewlettasked the Minister of Labour what percentage of men discharged from the Services owing to injuries or other disabilities are too unfit for training but capable of light work; and what action he is taking in such cases.
§ Mr. BevinThe suggestion that there is a category of persons too unfit for training but capable of light work, seems to me unsound. In general, those who are physically fit for light work are 1528 physically fit for training for a light occupation. The distinction properly to be drawn is between those disabled persons who have the capacity to learn a skilled occupation and those who have not. The former receive training if required, and in present circumstances the latter are readily placed in suitable unskilled employment.
§ Colonel BurtonIs there any age limitation?
