§ 14. Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Minister of Labour if training in the senior training corps in universities is now required as a condition of deferment for university students; and if he will make a statement on the question of reservation for the guidance of such students in the immediate future.
§ Mr. Ness EdwardsThe answer to the first part of the Question is in the negative. In regard to the second part, I would refer my hon. Friend to the statement my right hon. Friend made in the House on 30th April, a copy of which I am sending him.
§ Mr. HughesIs the policy adumbrated in the answer last April still the Minister's policy, or is there some change in it now?
§ Mr. EdwardsI know of no change other than that announced in the White Paper issued some months ago.
§ Mr. HughesWill not my hon. Friend tell us what is his present outlook upon this matter, and is he aware that many ' students who are now planning their futures want guidance on the matter?
§ Mr. EdwardsI am afraid that could not be done in answer to a supplementary question.
