§ 108. Mr. N. Macphersonasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is satisfied that all students duly completing the Government training courses in forestry will obtain employment on the conclusion of their training; and how many of the 776 at present undergoing training he 437W anticipates will be absorbed in State schemes at home and in the Colonies, respectively.
§ Mr. WestwoodThe Forest Workers Training Scheme was instituted to provide trained forestry workers for State forests and for private estates. Employment can be found on State schemes for the 776 men now under training but it is expected that private estates will wish to take a fair proportion of these. Training is for the home service only, but if any of the men desire to emigrate to the Colonies no obstacles will be placed in their way.
