HC Deb 22 October 1945 vol 414 c1827W
Sir H. Webbe

asked the Minister of Works whether assistant electrical wiremen employed by his Ministry are given any facilities to qualify for employment as full craftsmen.

Mr. Tomlinson

There are no facilities in the Ministry for assistant electrical wiremen to qualify for employment as full craftsmen. The question of providing such facilities was considered by the Ministry's Departmental Joint Industrial Council in 1938–1940, but no satisfactory scheme could be formulated.
