§ Mr. BROOKESasked the Minister of Reconstruction if he can make any definite statement as to the position and treatment after the War of soldier apprentices who volunteered in the early stages of the contest, who gave up their trade for a time, and who are now twenty-two or twenty-three years of age?
§ Dr. ADDISONAs I stated in the House, the Government has agreed to a scheme which makes provision for apprentices whose term of training has been interrupted by war service. The Ministry of Labour is in negotiation with some of the employers' and workpeople's organisations concerned, and it is hoped that they will be in a position to introduce a Bill early next Session.
