HC Deb 22 January 1957 vol 563 cc10-1W
86. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has considered the complaint in the Annual Report of the Aberdeen and North-East of Scotland Regional Advisory Council for Technical Education under the jurisdiction of his Department that they have been unable to obtain the necessary cooperation required to organise any system of training young people beginning in the fishing industry; and what steps he is taking to rectify this.

Mr. Maclay

Since the publication of the Report a working party representing the interests concerned has presented to the education authority a scheme of training. The education authority is now considering the scheme and will, I hope, submit it to me shortly.
