My hon. Friend talks of training. This is very limited. There are thousands of unemployed disabled persons. Where are they all to be trained? We have two or three training centres in South Wales. I quite agree that a disabled person, given proper training and found a job, is able to carry on with that job, but thousands of men cannot be expected to travel miles to a training centre when they are crippled, when their backs are half broken. This is an exaggeration on the part of my hon. Friend.
