HC Deb 26 May 1949 vol 465 c103W
68. Mr. Eccles

asked the Minister of Labour why there is a difference in rates and allowances between men and women trainees under the Disabled Persons Employment Act, 1944.

Mr. Isaacs

The maintenance allowances paid to trainees under the Disabled Persons (Employment) Act, 1944, are broadly related to the general run of wages which they may expect to receive on taking up employment.
