.of age. Mr._ Arthur Greenwood- proposed that qualifica- tion for benefit should depend upon attendance at training centres. The Minister of Labour expressed the opinion. (which. in different circumstances one would have expected to hear from Mr. Greenwood himself) that it would be wrong to disqualify young people who had no chance of attending training centres. It is a most welcome fact, however, that the Minister fully accepted the principle of training. He promised to introduce a new clause on the Report stage. The expense would fall partly on the Fund and partly on the Treasury. We have written so often on this subject that we record the decision of the Government with gratitude. There is no greater danger in industry at present than that young persons should deteriorate into unemployables before they have the opportunity of getting jobs.
