§ 47. Colonel Ropnerasked the Minister of Labour whether the is aware that many employers in the building trade do not consider that Government-trained ex-Service men have sufficient knowledge of the trade when they leave the training centres; and whether, in view of this, the will consider extending the period of the courses to ensure more thorough training.
§ Mr. IsaacsNo. My information is that employers in general are very satisfied with the standard reached by trainees during their six months' course, allowing for the fact that they still have fourteen months' training to do with employers on the job. If the hon. and gallant Member will let me have details of specific complaints I will be glad to inquire into them.
