HC Deb 31 July 1940 vol 363 cc1251-2W
Dr. Little

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will arrange for Northern Ireland men of a mechanical turn of mind with a bent towards engineering, the assembling of textile machinery and munition work, to be admitted to some of the training centres in Britain in order to qualify them for taking up work that is so needful at the moment for the winning of the war?

Mr. Bevin

Arrangements with the Government of Northern Ireland are already in operation under which suitable men from Northern Ireland are admitted to Government training centres in Great Britain.
