§ 54. Major N. Macphersonasked the Minister of Labour what steps he is taking in conjunction with other Ministers to ensure the employment of successful ex-Service applicants for training as teachers, in view of the long delay of a year or more which may elapse before they can commence their training.
§ Mr. IsaacsAll the resources of my Department are available to help these candidates to find employment during the waiting period. In addition, my right hon. Friend the Minister of Education has suggested to local education authorities that they should, where practicable, employ candidates as temporary teachers or in other capacities. My right hon. Friend is, for this purpose, sending to each local education authority a list of the accepted candidates living within their area.
§ Major MacphersonCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether the candidates who are waiting are being encouraged to take up work in the Control Commission and elsewhere?
§ Mr. IsaacsI would not like to say the Control Commission, but what vacancies there are at our disposal are brought to their attention.
