§ Sir G. Foxasked the Minister of Labour how many art students have been released to date under Class B scheme; and when it is expected that the remainder of the 3,000 will be released.
§ Mr. IsaacsThe number of arts students released in Class B who have resumed their studies up to 30th September, the latest date for which figures are available,938W was 168. The Service Departments are dealing urgently with all applications received, but it is not possible to say when the remainder of the 3,000 who are serving in all parts of the world, will reach their Universities. I should add that the Universities have agreed to accept students released under the scheme whenever they may become available.
