HC Deb 05 December 1945 vol 416 c2483W
Mr. Ward

asked the Minister of Labour what active assistance is being given to officers leaving the R.A.F., with no previous business experience, in obtaining employment in posts for which they are likely to be best suited.

Mr. Isaacs

The officers to whom the hon. Member refers will, in general, be either regular officers or young men leaving the Service in 1946. To deal with the former the staffs of appointments offices have been strengthened by the secondment of R.A.F. officers who can interpret Service experience in terms of suitability for civilian employment. For the latter, courses of training are being prepared as recommended in the Report on Training for Business Administration (Cmd.6673). Both forms of activity are complementary to the normal placing work of the appointments offices.
