HC Deb 23 June 1938 vol 337 cc1278-9W
Mr. McEntee

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that, owing to the closing down of the Army vocational training centre at Aldershot, five of the instructors have been given notice to terminate their engagement; that these men accepted the posts they hold and moved from industrial centres to Aldershot under the impression that the posts as instructors were of a permanent character; and will he arrange for these men's services to be used in some other position similar to that now held by them?

Sir V. Warrender

As regards the first and third parts of the question, I would refer the hon. Gentleman to the answers my right hon. Friend gave on 21st June on this subject. As regards the second part, these men were engaged as unestablished civilian employés subject to a fort- night's notice of termination of employment.
