HC Deb 09 July 1982 vol 27 cc218-9W
Mr. David Young

asked the Secretary of State for Defence which training schemes are available to Armed Forces personnel wounded in the course of military action for rehabilitation and training for a civil job.

Mr. Wiggin

Many training courses for civilian employment are available to disabled Service men at the Services' resettlement centres, at Ministry of Defence sponsored courses run by various polytechnics and colleges of further education, or by attachment to a prospective employer. These can be supplemented after discharge by courses arranged by the Manpower Services Commission either under the training opportunities scheme, or by attending an employment rehabilitation centre.
