§ 109. Commander Maitlandasked the Minister of Education whether he is now in a position to announce his proposals for relieving financial hardship caused by his decision to postpone the entry into Emergency Training Colleges of men who are working as temporary teachers and who are awaiting courses.
§ 110. Mr. D. Marshallasked the Minister of Education if he is aware of the financial hardship caused by the extended waiting period for entrance to a training college and the effect this delay has on pension; and how he proposes to deal with this matter.
§ Mr. TomlinsonYes. I am glad to be able to announce that from 1st October men with family responsibilities will, in certain circumstances, be eligible for supplementary grants to help them to tide over the longer period which as a result of recent decisions, they will have to wait before admission to an Emergency Training College. I will send the 155W hon. Members copies of a detailed statement which is being sent to all the men concerned.
