§ 9. Brigadier Prior-Palmerasked the Minister of Labour whether, in the case of men returning from the Forces who are desirous of learning a trade other than one catered for by the Ministry of Labour courses, such as dental mechanics, he will arrange that these men may be taught by practising approved tradesmen who are willing to receive them and that their fees be paid.
§ Mr. IsaacsUnder the Government's vocational training scheme, special arrangements can normally be made for training on an individual basis to meet the kind of case to which the hon. and gallant Member refers.
§ Brigadier Prior-PalmerWill the right hon. Gentleman make that answer known more widely among his subordinates, because there is great difficulty in getting the facts appreciated at local labour offices?
§ Mr. IsaacsI will look into that suggestion.
§ 11. Mr. Lipsonasked the Minister of Labour why the course of training in upholstery for demobilised men promised to be started in Bristol a month ago has not yet started; and if, in view of the hardship caused, he will arrange for it to commence without further delay.
§ Mr. IsaacsEvery effort is being made to start this course as soon as possible. Delay has been mainly due to difficulty in securing essential items of equipment.
