HC Deb 06 December 1945 vol 416 cc2701-2W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Minister of Labour if he will inquire into the case, details of which have been submitted to him, of a part-trained teacher in the R.A.F., who requires a third year at the university to complete his Degree in Modern Languages, but whose retention in demobilisation Group 45 will make it impossible for him to take his degree until June, 1948; and will he now expedite his release.

Mr. Isaacs

I regret that releases in Class B cannot be extended to cover cases of this type. To be eligible the student must either be the holder of an arts scholarship, or be a part-trained teacher who is a graduate or entitled under the regulations of his university to be awarded a war degree and can complete his professional training within a year. Neither condition is satisfied in this case.
