HC Deb 27 January 1943 vol 386 cc510-1W
Sir L. Lyle

asked the Minister of Labour whether, in view of the fact that the Report of the Inter-Departmental Committee on the Rehabilitation and Resettlement barely touches the position of the middle class, he will instruct the Committee to explore further the remedial services which would more exactly apply to this section of the community?

Mr. McCorquodale

The report makes no class distinctions. If my hon. Friend will read the Report again he will see that its recommendations include the provision of higher education, training for the professions, training for semi-professional, technical, executive and clerical occupations, and that in assessing the handicap of disability account is taken of the person's previous experience and qualifications.
