Redundant Workers, Huntingdon (Retraining)

HC Deb 20 December 1966 vol 738 cc264-5W

77. Sir D. Renton

asked the Minister of Labour what retraining facilities are available to redundant workers living in the Huntingdon district.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

There is no Government Training Centre within convenient daily travelling distance of Huntingdon. People who want and are suitable for the training in skilled trades given at these Centres can apply for a course at a Centre in the London area or in the Midlands. Most training needed by redundant workers is, however, at the semi-skilled level and is best given by industry itself.
