HC Deb 06 February 1947 vol 432 c1952
69. Mr. Peart

asked the Minister of Education the number of persons accepted for the Emergency Teachers' Training Course who have contracted out of the scheme owing to delay in securing admission to the colleges concerned.

Mr. Hardman

Out of the 37,000 candidates accepted for training under the Emergency Teacher Training Scheme, 2,300 have so far notified the Ministry that they do not wish to proceed to a training college. It is not possible to say in how many cases the candidate's decision is due to delay in securing admission.
