§ 44. Mr. Timmonsasked the Minister of Labour whether he will consider arranging a joint meeting of employers and trade unions to consider increasing the number of apprenticeships in the building and engineering industry.
§ Mr. WoodNo. It is for each individual industry itself to determine its future intake of apprentices, but I hope that, as recommended by the Report "Training for Skill", industries will consider the need to take advantage of the increasing number of school leavers in the next few years.
