HC Deb 17 November 1944 vol 404 c2264W
Sir R. Glyn

asked the Secretary of State for War whether steps are now being taken to ascertain, unit by unit, how many men and auxiliaries have positions in civil life to return to; how many are qualifying to enter a profession which may involve a period at a university; how many will desire to avail themselves of the training schemes being initiated by the Ministry of Labour; and whether official information can be given as to prospects and opportunities in the Dominions and Colonies.

Sir J. Grigg

No, Sir. After careful consideration it has been decided that it is neither desirable nor practicable to do so at the present time. Close co-operation is being maintained with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Labour and National Service on these matters. It is not possible at the present time to publish information as to prospects and opportunities in the Dominions and Colonies.
