§ Mr. Colvinasked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement about the take-up of places proposed to be made available by his Department under the youth training scheme.
§ Mr. LeeI refer my hon. Friend to the answer I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Shrewsbury (Mr. Shepherd) on 29 November 1983. — [Vol. 49, c. 760–61.]
The take-up of places has so far been disappointing. I am therefore taking steps to stimulate among those 539W responsible for administering the scheme within the Ministry of Defence a greater awareness and commitment to its success.
