HC Deb 15 October 1976 vol 917 c207W
Mr. Luce

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will describe the present machinery to facilitate the resettlement of men and women leaving the Services and how it is an improvement on the previous procedures.

Dr. Gilbert

In addition to the retraining arrangements set out in the answer to the hon. Member for Woking on 5th November 1975, Service men and women have available to them resettlement advice on a wide range of subects both from Service resettlement advisers and from specially designed courses. To cater for the additional outflow of men under the redundancy programmes, the Services are, where necessary, increasing the number and range of resettlement courses available and giving additional help with employment-finding.
