Lieut.-Colonel PINKHAMasked the Minister of Labour whether any scheme has been formulated by the Ministry of Labour for the training of disabled sailors and soldiers; and, if so, where these men should apply for training and receive their allowances?
§ Sir R. HORNEThe Ministry of Labour is at present engaged in very largely extending the facilities already available for the training of disabled ex-Service men of His Majesty's Forces. For the present these men should apply for training either to the Divisional Director of Industrial Training for their area or to their war pensions committee, who will take the necessary steps to place them in touch with the authorities responsible for providing training. On and after 1st946W August the allowances of men receiving training (other than those who require concurrent curative treatment) will be paid by the Ministry of Labour through the institution or firm where the training is taking place.
