HC Deb 28 March 1919 vol 114 c767W
Captain R. TERRELL

asked the Minister of Labour if he is making any plans for the training of demobilised soldiers no longer able to take up their old careers; and whether, in that case, what progress has been made with the scheme?

Sir R. HORNE

I understand that the reference to demobilised soldiers no longer able to take up their old careers refers to men who have been disabled. Arrangements are in progress with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Pensions for the Ministry of Labour taking over from the Ministry of Pensions the industrial training of disabled soldiers whose disablement will not prevent them from entering some form of industry. The necessary arrangements are being pressed forward as quickly as possible.
