§ Miss Fookesasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will give details of the intake of unemployed youngsters taking part in courses at the Plymouth engineering training centre; and if he is satisfied with their progress.
§ Mr. Peter MorrisonIn the course of the last academic year about 80 unemployed youngsters received training at the Plymouth engineering training centre. At present eight are undergoing training. Reasonable progress has been made: about 38 per cent. of the trainees achieved a sufficiently high standard in the basic engineering course to go on to the advanced course.
