HC Deb 02 May 1984 vol 59 c177W
27. Mr. Alexander

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what his Department is doing to improve management education and training in small firms.

Mr. Trippier

My Department seeks to stimulate the provision of management education and training for small firms which is both accessible to them and appropriate to their particular needs. It is up to those running small firms to take advantage of the many courses offered by educational establishments, though I endeavour to encourage awareness of the value of suitable training.
