HC Deb 10 March 1924 vol 170 c1941W
Mr. STRANGER

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that in South Berkshire and other districts in the South of England there are partially trained ex-service men who have been unable to obtain employment in the trades in which they are partially trained to enable them to complete their training, and that in consequence they have lost the benefit of the partial training; and whether it is proposed to adopt any, and what, measures whereby ex-servce men so placed may have a further course of training so as to fit them for employment when offered in these trades?

Miss BONDFIELD

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given to the hon. Member for Darwen (Mr. F. Hindle) on 28th February, of which I am sending him a copy. In certain circumstances a trainee who has been awaiting an im-provership for some time may receive a refresher course of training.
