Mr. A. T. DAVIESasked the Minister of Labour how many ex-officers of His Majesty's Forces who applied for grants for training to the Appointments Board between 1st July or previously and 31st August had not on 2nd December received the decision of the grants committee?
§ Sir R. HORNEThe number is 1,735, so far as training in offices and works. This represents about 10 per cent. of the applications received up to the 31st August and not definitely cancelled by the applicants. I am not in a position to give similar figures for applications which have been passed on to the Educational nd Agricultural Departments.
