HC Deb 06 November 1947 vol 443 c229W
52. Mr. Osborne

asked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that Flight-Lieutenant Dance has been refused a grant under the Education and Training Scheme, because having resigned from the Palestine Police Force to enter the R.A.F. he has been told he must rejoin the Palestine Police Force, but they have refused re-engagement on the ground that he is now married; and as this case has been before his Department since June why an immediate decision cannot now be taken.

Mr. Ness Edwards

As the hon. Member has been informed, the reason for refusal of a grant under the Further Education and Training Scheme in this case is that the applicant's war service did not interrupt a course of study or training undertaken before his war service began.
