HC Deb 27 January 1953 vol 510 cc87-8W
48. Mr. Palmer

asked the Minister of Labour what action has been taken by his Department on the recommendations of the specialist industrial education and training teams, training of operatives, training of supervisors, universities and industry, education for management, which visited the United States of America under the auspices of the Anglo-American Council on Productivity.

Mr. Watkinson

The recommendations of most direct interest to the Ministry of Labour are those relating to the training of operatives and the training of supervisors. These are directed to industry itself rather than to the Government, but the Ministry has brought them prominently to the notice of those concerned and has urged their consideration. This has been done, notably by convening the Conference on Human Relations in Industry last March, by partaking in other conferences, by calling the attention of a number of industries to the need for a review of their training arrangements, and by undertaking to convene a group for the study of future developments in the training of supervisors.

Forward to
