§ Captain BERKELEYasked the Minister of Labour whether he will consider the re-opening for a limited period of the registration of ex-service men for training, in order to meet the cases of those who, from want of knowledge, absence from England, or other reasons, did not register before the date of closing?
§ Sir M. BARLOWIn accordance with the recommendation of the Select Committee on Training and Employment of Disabled ex-Service Men, my Department is prepared to consider applications from men who did not apply before 30th September, 1921, but who have broken down in their post-War occupation owing to their War disability. In considering late applications from other classes of disabled ex-service men, due regard is given to the circumstances which prevented them from applying before the closing date. I am not prepared to grant any general extension of the closing date.
