§ 23. Major Markhamasked the Minister of Labour whether the National Joint Advisory Committee's Report on Apprentices and Apprenticeships has yet been made available to the public; and how far he proposes to take action to implement its recommendations.
§ Mr. WatkinsonI assume that my hon. and gallant Friend refers to certain proposals which my right hon. Friend put to the National Joint Advisory Council in January, that selected industries should be invited to review their training and apprenticeship arrangements. It will be for the industries concerned to review the position in the light of the suggestions made and I do not anticipate that their views will be available for some time.
