§ 11. Mr. A. Edward Daviesasked the Minister of Labour how many applications have been received for training under the Resettlement Scheme; how many accepted; and if he will state the number still awaiting training, giving details on a trade and industry basis.
§ Mr. IsaacsExcluding applications made and subsequently withdrawn by the applicant, 138,490 applications have been received for training under the Vocational Training Scheme, of which 106,767 have been accepted. Of these 31,854 are awaiting allocation to training. As the details by trades require a long list, I am sending particulars to my hon. Friend.
§ Mr. DaviesWhilst "appreciating the progress which has been made, may I ask whether the other 30,000-odd are likely soon to be taken into the schools?
§ Mr. IsaacsThey will be taken in as soon as we are able to get ahead with the necessary building of the premises which we need to occupy.
