§ Miss Richardsonasked the Secretary of State for Employment what action his Department has taken since 3 May 1979 on any recommendation of the Finer committee for which it is wholly or partly responsible.
§ Mr. Jim Lester[pursuant to his reply, 24 June 1980, c. 92]: The action taken by my Department reflects the fact that while the employment recommendations for which it has a direct responsibility were implemented prior to 3 May 1979, action on some of them is of a continuing nature. For example, I am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that over the past year special efforts have been made through marketing and counselling activities to make women more aware of the full range of opportunities for training available under the training opportunities scheme.
