HC Deb 05 February 1968 vol 758 cc5-6W
Mrs. Ewing

asked the Minister of Labour whether skilled tradesmen are eligible for Government retraining schemes.

Mr. Hattersley

Yes, if they are no longer able to make use of their skills. Skilled men are also eligible for training in a few trades (e.g. draughtsmanship) in which previous experience of engineering is a requirement.
