I can only say that there has been a considerable expansion in the last year or two. When one considers that there was training provision before the war for 4,500, which in 1944 had risen to 5,600, and in 1946 to 7,200, I think my hon. Friend will see that a certain expansion has taken place. We expect the acceleration shown in these figures to continue.
