§ 41. Mr. George Thomasasked the Minister of Labour on what date he hopes to open the Cardiff Centre for training disabled persons; and for what number the Centre will cater.
§ Mr. Ness EdwardsThe Government Training Centre at Cardiff has been in operation since October, 1945, and disabled as well as able-bodied persons have been in training since that date. It is hoped to open in June in part of these premises an Industrial Rehabilitation Unit which will accommodate about 100 disabled persons.
§ Mr. ThomasIs my right hon. Friend aware that we have a very large proportion of disabled persons in Cardiff, and that we have not sufficient provision for them, and that his reply will not cover one quarter of these people?
§ Mr. Ness EdwardsI should have thought that there was very generous provision in Cardiff for training purposes, so generous, indeed, that we have had to shut down one of the training centres.
