asked the Minister of Labour how many men trained in the training centres established by his Department have found employment, the occupations in which they are engaged, the number in each trade or calling, the towns or other places where the work was found; and will he give the number of unemployed persons registered at the Employment Exchanges in the districts where the trainees have found employment and the trade or calling of the persons registered as unemployed?

Since the end of 1925, out of about 7,000 men, 6,600 are known to have found employment after passing through a course of training. They have been placed in a great variety of occupations, and in so many different places that I am afraid it is impracticable to obtain the information asked for in the last part of the question.

Will the hon. Gentleman try to obtain a sample case, so as to give the House some idea where these men are finding employment and the occupations they are following, as it is rather important that we should know whether they are going to places where there are already people unemployed?

I will consider whether we can act on the suggestion of the hon. Member, but he, of course, realises that it is quite impossible to trace all the persons sent out from these training centres.
