HC Deb 16 November 1944 vol 404 c2107
37. Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Education whether the facilities to enable members of the Forces to become teachers on demobilisation can be extended to boys who have been conscripted for the pits.

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Education (Mr. Ede)

All the facilities offered for helping men and women released from the Forces to qualify for teaching apply also to those who have been engaged during the war in other forms of national service. This will include work in the mines.
