HC Deb 08 June 1943 vol 390 c550W
Major Nield

asked the Minister of Labour whether the Government have any scheme whereby, at the end of the war, apprentices whose apprenticeship has been interrupted by war service may be allowed or required to be trained for a period so as to be qualified as tradesmen in their particular trade?

Mr. Bevin

I am in consultation with representatives of the employers' organisations and trade unions concerned on the arrangements which may be necessary to enable young people whose apprenticeship has been interrupted by war service to complete their training and qualify as tradesmen when discharged from the Forces.
