HC Deb 18 June 1936 vol 313 c1188W
Sir R. CLARRY

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will consider installing a training centre at Newport, Monmouthshire, for the purposes of instruction in bricklaying, carpentering, and engineering in order to avoid the disadvantages to a number of unemployed in the area of going to the nearest such training centre, which is located at Bristol?

Mr. E. BROWN

Experience shows that the balance of advantage is to have the training centres in districts affording good prospects of employment where the men are readily placed in employment from the centres, and I do not in present circumstances contemplate setting up a Government Training Centre at Newport.
