HC Deb 30 June 1936 vol 314 c235W
Mr. DAY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India what facilities exist for men, whose service is nearing completion in the British Army in India, to train for civil employment in the East?

Mr. BUTLER

About 1,100 British soldiers annually receive vocational training in India for civil employment. These are selected from those of good character who are about to leave the colours. The training is given in Government factories, workshops and farms, and in private firms covering some 80 different trades.
