§ Mr. J. Morrisonasked the Minister of Labour how many grants are being paid by his Department to students attending trade courses; what total annual sum is involved; and if he will give a list of the trades concerned.
§ Mr. IsaacsThe number of persons in training at 6th March last (the latest date for which figures are available) was 5,859. The annual sum involved is of the order of £1,500,000 covering payments of maintenance allowances, fares and class fees. Training is provided in over 100 trades, and I am sending a list to the hon. Member.
