HC Deb 24 January 1980 vol 977 cc345-6W
Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what the future is of the occupational guidance units within the Manpower Services Commission in Manchester and elsewhere.

Mr. Jim Lester

mit to the Department through regional committees, their future plans for provision of training for specific subjects and age-ranges. The information provided showed that efforts were being made to protect provision in those subjects for which there was the greatest need in the schools. Success will, however, depend on the recruitment of suitably qualified candidates wishing to train to teach these subjects.
