National Apprenticeship Council

HC Deb 24 July 1958 vol 592 cc671-2

43. Mr. Moss

asked the Minister of Education what steps he has taken, or will take, to ensure full co-operation with the National Apprenticeship Council in accordance with the Report of the Carr Committee, "Training for Skill."

Sir E. Boyle

As the House will have learned from the Press this morning, the Industrial Training Council, at its inaugural meeting yesterday, decided to invite my right hon. Friend, the Association of Technical Institutions and the City and Guilds of London Institute each to appoint a representative to participate in the Council's work. My right hon. Friend welcomes this move as a means of promoting the close co-operation between industry and education which is essential to success in this important matter.

Mr. Moss

Is the hon. Baronet aware that that reply is very welcome?

Sir E. Boyle

I thank the hon. Member.
