§ 77. Mr. D. J. Williamsasked the Minister of Labour how many men suffering, from silicosis or pneumoconiosis have been admitted to Government training centres; what occupations they have been trained for; and how many of them have been placed in suitable jobs.
§ Mr. IsaacsA search of individual records is necessary to obtain this information, and when I have it I will communicate with the hon. Member. I can, however, say that about 80 men suffering from silicosis and pneumoconiosis have recently been placed in two new South Wales factories, where they are being trained mainly as gas and electric welders.
