HC Deb 26 November 1957 vol 578 cc101-2W
69. Mr. M. Stewart

asked the Minister of Works why he has withdrawn his support from the national apprenticeship scheme in the electrical contracting industry.

Mr. Molson

I gave notice last January of my intention to discontinue the provision by my Department of secretarial services to the Apprenticeship and Training Council for the Electrical Contracting Industry because I felt that the time had come for this industry to manage its own affairs as other industries do.
