HC Deb 02 August 1946 vol 426 cc303-4W
Major Bramall

asked the Minister of Education whether she will take steps to remedy the hardship caused to ex-Servicemen training as teachers under the Further Education and Training Scheme by the fact that no grant is paid for the final holiday period, although it is not possible to obtain work during this period.

Miss Wilkinson

Grants under the Emergency Training Scheme, as under all Government Training Schemes, are planned to cover only the period of the course of training. I will, however, look into the question of hardship in the particular case to which my hon. and gallant Friend refers.
