§ 48. Mr. Frederick Leeasked the Minister of Labour whether the Resettlement Grants Scheme will apply to men called up to His Majesty's Forces after the end of 1948.
§ Mr. IsaacsNo, Sir. Having regard to the objects of the Scheme, it has been decided that men called up after the end of 1948 shall not be eligible for grants under the Scheme administered by my Department or the Departments of Agriculture.
§ Mr. ChetwyndAs many of these men have been away for as long as 18 months, and as their education is bound to have been affected, has my right hon. Friend considered an alternative scheme to the present one?
§ Mr. IsaacsIt is clear that this answer relates to the Act as it operates at present. If my hon. Friend will put down a Question as to any change that ought to be examined. I shall be glad to look into it.
