28,182 ex-Servicemen are now being trained under the Government Vocational Training Scheme. As the details by occupations are lengthy, I will, with the hon. Member's permission, give them in the OFFICIAL REPORT. 26,138 ex-Servicemen have been accepted for training and are awaiting allocation. They are being admitted to training at the rate of about 5,000 a month.
