HC Deb 17 November 1987 vol 122 cc505-6W
14. Mr. Conway

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a statement on improvements in training in the hotel and leisure industries.

Mr. Lee

We are actively encouraging a more coordinated approach to training across the spectrum of hotel and leisure industries. Training in the hotel industry is already being developed centrally through the Hotel and Catering training board. I recently chaired—and my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State opened—a short conference which discussed relevant training across all sectors of the leisure and tourism industries.
