HC Deb 19 June 1947 vol 438 c2217
46. Mr. Prescott

asked the Minister of Labour if it is the policy of his Department to encourage the setting up of national joint recruitment and training councils for specific industries, similar to that in existence in respect of the boot and shoe manufacturing industries.

Mr. Ness Edwards

Yes, Sir. My right hon. Friend welcomes this development, and hopes that other important industries which have not so far done so will institute systematic schemes for the recruiting and training of young workers.
