§ Mr. HINDLEasked the Minister of Pensions if he is prepared to formulate any scheme whereby ex-service trainees may be enabled to find employment as improvers or otherwise in greater numbers and to better advantage than has hitherto been the case?
§ Mr. SHAWI have been asked to reply. Many plane to find improverships or employment for trainees are in operation. Over 16,000 improverships have been found and filled since 1st September, 1921, of which nearly 7,000 were found during the last 12 months. The canvassers specially appointed for the purpose have found over 13,000 of these vacancies, including over 6,000 during the last 12990W months. The matter receives unremitting attention, and I shall always be glad to consider suggestions.
