§ Mr. Edward Daviesasked the Minister of Labour why delay has recently taken place in the provision of training facilities under the resettlement scheme in North Staffordshire; and what steps are being taken to overcome the difficulty.
§ Mr. IsaacsThere has been no special delay in extending training facilities in North Staffordshire recently. The Stoke Training Centre is already fully equipped to provide training in building trades and schemes of training so far as these can be arranged in technical colleges and employers' establishments for the pottery and other industries are in operation. As regards training for trades other than building, in the Government training centre, premises and equipment are being provided as quickly as possible In the meantime applicants who cannot be allocated to the Stoke Centre are being given the opportunity, as vacancies arise of taking their training at other centres in the Midlands Region.
