HC Deb 13 July 1920 vol 131 c2171W
Mr. GWYNNE

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he can see his way to extend the time during which soldiers who were demobilised before October, 1919, can apply for an educational training grant, seeing that in certain cases men are debarred from making application owing to the fact that they were unfit for training previous to 31st December, 1919, but have recovered since?

Mr. FISHER

The Board are prepared to consider applications which are lodged after the dates specified in the Board's public announcements, where the applicant can satisfy the Board that the delay in making his application has been due to ill-health.
