§ Major GLYNasked the Secretary of State for War how many soldiers and their families have been assisted to settle overseas, and in what parts of the Empire, respectively, during the last six years; and during the same period how many soldiers have undergone training at the Catterick, Aldershot and other training centres?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON - EVANSVocational training for oversea settlement has been carried out by the military authorities only for the last four years, during which period 192 single men and 109 married men have proceeded direct from the training centre to the Dominions. Of this number, 203 went to Australia and 82 to Canada. In addition, approximately 50 men trained for oversea settlement were unable to proceed overseas immediately on completion of their training, but did so at a later date. The total number who have undergone training in all subjects at the Army Vocational Training Centres during the same period is approximately 5,350.
