HC Deb 15 February 1982 vol 18 c55W
Mr. Kinnock

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will take steps to ensure that school facilities are available to help the implementation of the December 1981 White Paper "A New Training Initiative".

Sir Keith Joseph

Some local education authorities already make provision for the use of school premises and staff for the educational element of the Manpower Services Commission's programmes. I recognise the benefits that may accrue to unemployed young people from arrangements of this sort. I am considering the extent to which they can be taken further, having regard to the needs of all the pupils in the schools concerned.
