§ Mr. R. C. Morrisonasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour whether men registered for military service in Grade III are accepted under the new scheme for training men for engineering work or whether they are to be called up for military service; and is he aware that men in this category who have been unemployed for a long period are being informed at Employment Exchanges that no instructions are available?
§ Mr. AsshetonMen placed in medical grade III are eligible to be admitted for civilian training if otherwise suitable. Men who have been placed in medical grade III on account of defective vision and would otherwise have been placed in Grade I or Grade II (a) are, under existing arrangements, being called up for military service subject to the Schedule of Reserved Occupations; such men, however, are not called up while undergoing a course of training. The local offices of the Ministry have received the necessary instructions on the matter.
