HC Deb 27 November 1919 vol 121 cc1932-3W
Mr. WADDINGTON

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware of the difficulty now experienced by young men of good education who developed tuberculosis as a consequence of war service and are now advised not to follow a teaching career in schools, and the only recommendation made to them is to take up poultry farming or horticulture; and whether, in view of the great sacrifices made by many of the parents to educate these young men, he will consider a scheme to train under his Department a proportion of these cases for survey work or other similar duties which will give a maximum of outdoor employment?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

I have been asked to reply to this question. A scheme of the kind referred to, suitable for tuberculous ex-officers requiring outdoor employment, is now under consideration.
