§ 95. Colonel Stoddart-Scottasked the Minister of Education if he is aware that when Mr. Tyler, 11, Rosebery Street, Pudsey, was accepted under the Emergency Training Scheme for teachers in 265W February, 1947, he was told he would not have to wait more than 18 months; that he is now informed he will not get a vacancy before the end of 1949, which means he will have waited almost three years; and will he reconsider this case and do something to relieve this man of his present hardship.
§ Mr. TomlinsonMr. Tyler's position is no different from that of a number of other men who are waiting their turn for training, and I cannot favour him at their expense. In any case, it is now likely that he will get a place before the end of 1949. Mr. Tyler will very shortly become eligible for the supplementary grant which is available for waiting men with family responsibilities.
