§ Mr. VIVIANasked the Minister of Pensions whether, in view of the admitted shortage of skilled building operatives such as bricklayers, he can see his way to arrange that some weekly grant should be made to the sons of soldiers who lost their lives in the War to supplement their small earnings as apprentices to these occupations?
Mr. MUIRMy right hon. Friend regrets that he does not see his way to recommend any provision in the sense suggested beyond that already made by the Royal Warrant for the continuance beyond the age of 10 of the ordinary children's allowances in the case of young persons serving an apprenticeship and receiving not more than nominal wages
