HC Deb 13 January 1976 vol 903 cc139-40W
Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if the Manpower Services Commission has computed the extent to which training facilities within publicly owned industries, local government and the Civil Service are under used as a consequence of recruitment cuts; and if he will publish the results or request such a study to be made.

Mr. Harold Walker

I am informed by its Chairman that the Manpower Services Commission does not consider that there is at present extensive under-utilisation of training facilities in the public sector and is not convinced of the need for a comprehensive study.
