asked the Minister of Education whether he can now give a date when Mr. G. E. Russell, of 58, West Street, Alford, Lincolnshire, who was demobilised in October, 1946, and who had previously made application, will be admitted into an Emergency Training College.

I am afraid that I cannot yet be more precise than when I wrote to the hon. Member a month ago. I hope that it may be possible to offer Mr. Russell a place in a college in the autumn of 1948.
