HC Deb 24 May 1965 vol 713 c13W
Sir G. Sinclair

asked the Minister of Labour what discussions he has had with representatives of immigrant groups on the subject of their access to apprenticeship and training schemes in various sectors of industry, both private and public; and what action he intends to take in this field.

Mr. Gunter

None. The Commonwealth Immigrants Advisory Council reported recently that there was no evidence that immigrants with the necessary qualifications did not have equal opportunities of obtaining apprenticeships. So far as the Ministry of Labour's vocational training scheme is concerned, immigrants are accepted for training on the same basis as other persons.
