asked the Minister of Education how many applications for training for the medical and dental professions have been received from ex-Service personnel under the Government's Further Education and Training Scheme; and in how many cases have such applications been granted.

It would not be possible for my Department, without a disproportionate amount of labour, to give the number of applications for training for the professions referred to. The number of awards made so far is 64 for a medical training and 23 for a dental training.
