§ Mrs. Renée Shortasked the Secretary of State for Employment if there is a training opportunities scheme course in embalming; and how many persons have been supported for training as embalmers.
§ Mr. Peter MorrisonNo embalming courses are supported under the training opportunities scheme at the present time. Under other special training arrangements administered by the Manpower Services Commission, limited provision is made available to enable training to be given to certain disabled people and young people in embalming and other occupations not covered by the training opportunities scheme. Detailed records are not kept and precise information about the number of persons trained under these arrangements is not available.
