HC Deb 13 December 1945 vol 417 c611
63. Major Niall Macpherson

asked the Minister of Labour what is the normal time that ex-Service applicants for vocational training courses in painting and decorating have to wait before being allotted a vacancy on a course.

Mr. Isaacs

I regret that owing to the large numbers applying for training as compared with the available training facilities, there has been delay amounting on the average to some weeks in allocating ex-Service applicants. I am glad to say that facilities are being rapidly expanded and should before long be sufficient to meet all requirements.
