HC Deb 30 June 1983 vol 44 c119W
Mr. Janner

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will now take steps to ensure that trainees on all Manpower Services Commission schemes will be covered by anti-discrimination legislation.

Mr. Peter Morrison

My right hon. Friend will shortly be making designation orders under section 13 and 14 respectively of the Race Relations and Sex Discrimination Acts which will give trainees under the youth training scheme and the training opportunities scheme the same legal protection and access to industrial tribunals as is currently afforded to those directly trained by the Manpower Services Commission, the statutory industrial training boards and group training associations.
