HC Deb 02 August 1946 vol 426 c301W
Mr. Sutcliffe

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air if he is aware that leave from Saturday morning to Wednesday morning is being granted in certain cases to enable men to put in one day's work in a cotton mill, under the Educational and Vocational Training Scheme, involving a railway journey each week from Norfolk; and if he will review the economy and efficiency of the scheme.

Mr. de Freitas

We have not made any general arrangements of this kind and part-time training is usually taken near an airman's station. In the case to which the hon. Member has drawn my attention, one airman was twice authorised to combine a day's training with other leave.
