HC Deb 08 May 1950 vol 475 cc3-4W
Mr. Finch

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he is satisfied that all reasonable steps are being taken in the sphere of education in the mining industry, especially on the subject of industrial relationships, since the closing down of the Nuneaton Staff College.

Mr. P. Noel-Baker

Yes. I am satisfied that the National Coal Board are pursuing a progressive policy for the education and training of their employees. Arrangements have been or are being made by the divisional boards to provide courses like those previously given at the Nuneaton Staff College. Some boards have already arranged courses on industrial relationships for the secretaries of colliery consultative committees.
