HC Deb 17 March 1937 vol 321 c2091W
Rear-Admiral Beamish

asked the Minister of Labour whether he can give figures showing the success or otherwise of instructing unemployed persons in agriculture and finding work for them?

Mr. E. Brown

My Department does not provide training in agriculture for unemployed persons. The Land Settlement Association trains unemployed men for settlement on the land and I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the answer given to the hon. Member for Pontypool (Mr. A. Jenkins) on 18th February, for information as to the results of that association's training schemes.
