HC Deb 13 November 1970 vol 806 c271W
Mr. Hooson

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what is the total membership of the Construction Industry Training Board; and how many of these members either live in Wales or represent firms who operate from Wales.

Mr. Dudley Smith

The board comprises a chairman, deputy chairman and 27 members, of whom one education member lives in Wales. The employer members are not appointed as representatives of firms.

Mr. Hooson

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what steps he is taking to ensure that there is representation on the Construction Industry Training Board of the more sparsely populated rural areas in Wales.

Mr. Dudley Smith

None. The membership of an industrial training board is representative of sectors of its industry rather than particular areas.
