§ Mr. WatkinsonThe 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.
